Abstract

How do people resist in-the-moment temptation if they are poor at inhibiting their impulses? Theory on self-control suggests that people have a toolbox of strategies available to them that may be used preemptively to dampen temptations. Applying this to the goal of relationship maintenance, in two studies, we examined whether people motivated to maintain their romantic relationship but poor at inhibitory control would appraise an attractive alternative (AA) as less appealing prior to a face-to-face interaction. In Study 1 (N = 190), those with high motivation and low inhibitory control (measured with the Stroop) rated the AA as less appealing as compared with singles and those high in motivation and inhibitory control. We replicated the motivation by inhibitory control interaction in Study 2 (N = 219). The AAs paradigm and the Devaluation Effect provide a useful way to explore the toolbox approach to self-control strategies.

贬低诱人替代品的价值:抑制能力差的人如何先发制人地抵制诱惑?
如果人们不善于抑制自己的冲动,又该如何抵制当下的诱惑呢?有关自我控制的理论表明,人们有一个可用的策略工具箱,可以先发制人地抑制诱惑。在两项研究中,我们将这一理论应用于维持恋爱关系这一目标,考察了那些有维持恋爱关系动机但抑制控制能力较差的人是否会在面对面交流之前将有吸引力的替代品(AA)评价为不那么有吸引力。在研究 1(N = 190)中,与单身者和高动机与高抑制控制能力者相比,高动机和低抑制控制能力者(用 Stroop 测量)认为 AA 不太吸引人。我们在研究 2(N = 219)中重复了动机与抑制控制的交互作用。AAs范式和贬值效应为探索自我控制策略的工具箱方法提供了一个有用的途径。
