People's Beliefs about the Nature of Self-control
06 December 2018
This study has been designed to investigate how people perceive self-control. Self-control is what enables people to stick to their intentions (e.g., to eat healthily, to save money for a holiday, keep studying, focusing or practicing sports), resist temptation (e.g., to eat too much cake or buy a pair of shoes you don’t need), and to control their emotions (e.g. holding back tears, stopping ‘freaking out’ or keeping cool in front of a crowd).
