Self-awareness is clearly related to and is one component of metacognition or conscious knowledge of cognitive processes inclusive of the ability to monitor and regulate ongoing activities or processes during task performance. It is a complex issue and may be mediated by other factors such as executive functions, memory deficits, and overall metacognitive skills.

Dispositional self-awareness (also known as self-consciousness or self-attentiveness) in contrast, is the trait-like tendency for an individual to focus on and reflect on their own psychological processes and inner experiences as well as their relationships to others (Fenigstein et al., 1975). Fenigstein further distinguished between public and private self-consciousness, with the former being an awareness of how one appears to others (similar to the concept of self-monitoring) and the latter being awareness of and reflecting on one’s internal states.

Self-awareness provides the information essential for conscious self-monitoring (metacognition). Metacognition is a tool for consciously controlling behavior and adjusting our experiences of the world. It is essential for learning by conscious experience, not only within ourselves, but, importantly, also between individuals.
