Abstract

Objective: We tested the hypothesis that complex behaviors are commonly supported by self-regulation strategies, even when those behaviors are supported by strong instigation habits.

Background: Goal-directed and habit-mediated processes arise from separable systems that have been suggested to seldomly interact.

Results: Self-regulation strategy use was lower for habitually instigated simple behaviors compared to nonhabitually instigated simple behaviors. However, participants' use of self-regulation strategies increased with the increasing complexity of behaviors, even when complex behaviors were habitually instigated. The difference in the extent of strategy use between habitually and nonhabitually instigated actions was absent when behavioral complexity was particularly high.

Conclusion: These results point to a qualitative distinction-while simple behaviors may progress in a relatively automatic and unthinking manner, complex behaviors receive frequent support from self-regulation strategies, even if they are instigated habitually.

有些习惯比其他习惯更难养成:刻意自我调节策略的使用会随着行为复杂性的增加而增加,即使是已经养成的习惯也是如此。
目的我们测试了一个假设,即复杂行为通常会得到自我调节策略的支持,即使这些行为受到强烈的教唆习惯的支持:背景:目标导向过程和习惯中介过程产生于可分离的系统,这些系统被认为很少相互作用:结果:与非习惯性简单行为相比,习惯性简单行为的自我调节策略使用率较低。然而,随着行为复杂程度的增加,参与者对自我调节策略的使用也在增加,即使是习惯性煽动的复杂行为。当行为的复杂程度特别高时,习惯性行为和非习惯性行为在策略使用程度上的差异就会消失:这些结果表明了一个质的区别--简单的行为可能会以相对自动和不假思索的方式进行,而复杂的行为则会经常得到自我调节策略的支持,即使这些行为是习惯性地煽动的。
