Though human beings embody a unique ability for planned behavior, they also often act impulsively. This insight may be important the study of self-control situations in which people are torn between their long-term goals to restrain behavior and immediate impulses that promise hedonic fulfillment. In present article, we outline dual-systems perspective impulse suggest framework prediction outcomes. combines three elements that, considered jointly, enable more precise outcomes than do when...
In the present research, authors investigated how individual differences in working memory capacity moderate relative influence of automatic versus controlled precursors on self-regulatory behavior. 2 studies, sexual interest behavior (Study 1) and consumption tempting food 2), attitudes toward temptation had a stronger for individuals who scored low rather than high capacity. Analogous results emerged Study 3 anger expression provoking situation when measure personality trait angriness was...
Recent theories in social psychology suggest that explicitly measured attitudes are particularly valuable for the prediction of deliberate, controlled behaviour. In contrast, implicitly assumed to be more important less controlled, impulsive Yet, conclusive evidence differential predictive validity both measures is scarce. We hypothesized limitations different control resources would lead functionally equivalent effects. Study 1, cognitive capacity moderated explicit and implicit attitude a...
An influential line of research suggests that initial bouts self-control increase the susceptibility to failure (ego depletion effect). Despite seemingly abundant evidence, some researchers have suggested evidence for ego was sole result publication bias and p-hacking, with true effect being indistinguishable from zero. Here, we examine (a) whether brought forward against will convince a proponent does not exist (b) arguments could be in defense skeptic exist. We conclude despite several...
Interpersonal provocation is a common and robust antecedent to aggression. Four studies identified angry rumination reduced self-control as mechanisms underlying the provocation—aggression relationship. Following provocation, participants demonstrated decreased on an unpleasant task relative control condition (Study 1). When provoked, increased This effect was mediated by capacity 2).

Abstract In contrast to the original Implicit Association Test (IAT), Single‐Target (ST‐IAT) measures evaluation of a target object without need simultaneously evaluate counter‐category. The present research investigates (a) whether position within series several ST‐IATs affects reliability and validity, (b) ST‐IAT exhibits adequate construct validity if objects are closely interrelated. We address these questions by taking five interrelated yet distinct political parties in Germany as an...
Interest in unintended discrimination that can result from implicit attitudes and stereotypes (implicit biases) has stimulated many research investigations. Much of this used the Implicit Association Test (IAT) to measure association strengths are presumed underlie biases. It had been more than a decade since last published treatment recommended best practices for using IAT measures. After an initial draft by first author, continuing through three subsequent drafts, 22 authors 14 commenters...
Effectively reducing climate change requires marked, global behavior change. However, it is unclear which strategies are most likely to motivate people their beliefs and behaviors. Here, we tested 11 expert-crowdsourced interventions on four mitigation outcomes: beliefs, policy support, information sharing intention, an effortful tree-planting behavioral task. Across 59,440 participants from 63 countries, the interventions' effectiveness was small, largely limited nonclimate skeptics,...
Abstract Science is crucial for evidence-based decision-making. Public trust in scientists can help decision makers act on the basis of best available evidence, especially during crises. However, recent years epistemic authority science has been challenged, causing concerns about low public scientists. We interrogated these with a preregistered 68-country survey 71,922 respondents and found that most countries, people agree should engage more society policymaking. variations between within...
Abstract Science is integral to society because it can inform individual, government, corporate, and civil decision-making on issues such as public health, new technologies or climate change. Yet, distrust populist sentiment challenge the relationship between science society. To help researchers analyse science-society nexus across different geographical cultural contexts, we undertook a cross-sectional population survey resulting in dataset of 71,922 participants 68 countries. The data were...
Abstract This article reviews recent developments in the design of interventions to improve health behavior. Based on dual-system models we classify intervention strategies according whether they aim at: (i) changing impulsive structures; (ii) improving ability self-control; or (iii) reflective structures. We review work re-training automatic associations, attentional biases, and approach–avoidance tendencies, training self-control executive functioning, taxonomic behavior techniques. The...
Abstract Recent theories in social psychology assume that people may have two different attitudes toward an object at the same time—one is explicit and corresponds with deliberative behavior, one implicit spontaneous behavior. The research presented this article tested assumption consumer domain experimental approach. Participants whose preferences regarding generic food products well‐known brands were incongruent more likely to choose implicitly preferred brand over explicitly when choices...
This study shows that alcohol consumption enhances the prediction of candy by implicit attitudes and at same time decreases predictive validity cognitive restraint standards. Female participants were assigned to either an or a control condition then given opportunity taste candies. For in condition, was uniquely predicted previously assessed toward candy. In contrast, primarily (Three Factor Eating Questionnaire) condition. Moreover, who consumed ate significantly more group level. These...
Abstract. At the center of social psychology just a few years ago, ego depletion is now widely seen as controversial topic, one chief victims replication crisis. Despite over 600 studies apparent support, many are asking if even real. Here, we comment on articles included in this Special Issue: Ego Depletion and Self-Control: Conceptual Empirical Advances. Specifically, delineate contributions limitations these by embedding them brief history depletion, describing current state uncertainty...
Science depends on trustworthy evidence.Thus, a biased scientific record is of questionable value because it impedes progress, and the public receives advice basis unreliable evidence that has potential to have far-reaching detrimental consequences.Meta-analysis valid reliable technique can be used summarize research evidence.However, meta-analytic effect size estimates may themselves biased, threatening validity usefulness meta-analyses promote progress.Here, we offer large-scale simulation...
