Self-control is essential for outcomes in several life domains but is often seen as effortful. We discuss recent research indicating the possibility of self-control. First, we discuss how high levels of self-control are associated with quicker self-control conflict identification and resolution. Second, we describe two pathways that may lead to these associations: (1) How of behaviors plays a role in self-control outcomes. That is, self-control is associated with better, effortless habits. (2) We discuss that self-control conflicts can be anticipated and resolved with that avoid effortful inhibition. Taken together, we aim to demonstrate that there is more to successful self-control than ‘simply’ working hard to resist your impulses – there may be easier roads to take.

 毫不费力的自我控制


自我控制对于多个生活领域的结果至关重要，但通常被认为需要付出努力。我们讨论最近的研究表明自我控制的可能性。首先，我们讨论高水平的自控力如何与更快的自控冲突识别和解决相关。其次，我们描述了可能导致这些关联的两种途径：（1）行为如何在自我控制结果中发挥作用。也就是说，自我控制与更好、更轻松的习惯有关。 (2)我们讨论了可以通过避免努力抑制来预测和解决自我控制冲突。总而言之，我们的目标是证明，成功的自我控制不仅仅是“简单地”努力抵制自己的冲动——可能还有更容易走的路。
