Abstract

Good self-control is highly valuable, but the processes that promote it are not fully understood. This review emphasizes that self-control is “inherently metacognitive” (p. 204, Duckworth et al., 2014) and describes the potential benefits of metacognitive knowledge for self-control. In line with research on metacognition in academic goal pursuit, we elaborate how three distinct types of metacognitive knowledge may aid self-control: strategy knowledge (for example, a repertoire of self-regulatory strategies), task knowledge (for example, understanding self-control demands), and person knowledge (for example, awareness of one's self-control strengths and weaknesses). Additionally, we identify research gaps and suggest that future studies should investigate the development and updating of metacognitive knowledge about self-control and how metacognitive knowledge can prevent individuals from justifying indulgence.

关于自我控制的元认知知识

良好的自我控制能力具有很高的价值，但人们对促进自我控制能力的过程并不完全了解。本综述强调自我控制是 "内在的元认知"（第 204 页，Duckworth 等人，2014 年），并描述了元认知知识对自我控制的潜在益处。与学术目标追求中的元认知研究相一致，我们阐述了三种不同类型的元认知知识如何有助于自我控制：策略知识（例如，自我调节策略库）、任务知识（例如，了解自我控制要求）和个人知识（例如，对个人自我控制优缺点的认识）。此外，我们还发现了一些研究空白，并建议今后的研究应调查有关自我控制的元认知知识的发展和更新情况，以及元认知知识如何防止个人为放纵行为辩护。
