This research involved two experience-sampling surveys and five field experiments, so as to 1) investigate the nature of self-control in everyday life and its psychological mechanism, and to 2) develop new methods in self-control training. Results suggested the involvement of counteractive control in the everyday psychological processes, although the development of training methods based on this finding is yet to be accomplished. However, multiple experiments confirmed the effectiveness of training methods involving repeated inhibition of impulse. These findings provide practical implications and research avenues for those seeking ways to develop better self-control.
