提升自我控制能力的有效途径

Exploring the Effective Routes to Enhance the Ability of Self-control

良好的自我控制对于个体在学习、工作和人际关系等生活领域中获得成功而言是至关重要的。传统上,有意的冲动抑制行为被认为是自我控制的核心成分,是提升个体控制冲动效率的主要途径。近来一些研究者认为目标、动机冲突和欲望等因素也会影响冲动行为的控制。对于特质自我控制的研究也发现,有意的冲动抑制行为是一种低效的冲动控制方式;另一方面,目标导向和习惯限制则可以有效地控制冲动行为。

Good self-control is central to success across life domains such as from school to work to relationships. Traditionally, effortful control is the key component of self-control and is believed to be the central route to enhance the efficiency of controlling impulses. Recently, some researchers suggested that other factors such as goal, motivation conflict, and desire would also affect impulse control. Researches about trait self-control also suggested that effortful inhibition is a low efficiency ways to control impulse. On the other hand, to carry out goal and to draw support from habits have been proved highly efficient in controlling impulse.
