External Factors that Influence Self-Control

Abstract

Self-control is a process that helps people pursue their long-term goals even while surrounded by temptations. This article will present four self-control-related models. According to these models, this article will introduce strategies that help people successfully control themselves by changing their situation, attention, and appraisal style to avoid failure. However, some of the strategies introduced in this article only have a theoretical base and lack empirical evidence. Such strategies are ideal candidates for potential future research.
