Abstract
Self-regulated learning is considered as a higher order cognitive process which attracted the attention of many researchers. Decision making refers to an ability to choose and implement the appropriate choice. It is understood by the researchers that effective decision making requires self-regulatory capabilities and an attempt is made to explore the relationship between self-regulated learning and decision making among university students. 240 students from Periyar University selected randomly and the data was collected through a survey. Results revealed that there is a significant positive association between vigilance style of making decisions and self-regulated learning of students. Female students found to have higher usage of self-regulated learning strategies. The findings and implications are discussed in this article.
