Self-control is the ability to inhibit temptations and persist in one's decisions about what to do. In this article, we review recent evidence that suggests implicit beliefs about the process of self-control influence how the process operates. While earlier work focused on the moderating influence of willpower beliefs on depletion effects, we survey new directions in the field that emphasize how beliefs about the nature of self-control, self-control strategies, and their effectiveness have effects on downstream regulation and judgment. These new directions highlight the need to better understand the role of self-control beliefs in naturalistic decision-making.

相信你的自我控制：建立自我控制理论及其下游影响


自制力是抑制诱惑并坚持自己决定做什么的能力。在本文中，我们回顾了最近的证据表明，关于自我控制过程的隐含信念会影响该过程的运作方式。虽然早期的工作侧重于意志力信念对耗竭效应的调节影响，但我们调查了该领域的新方向，这些方向强调关于自我控制性质、自我控制策略及其有效性的信念如何对下游调节和判断产生影响。这些新方向凸显了更好地理解自我控制信念在自然主义决策中的作用的必要性。
