Abstract

Researchers have long known that self-control, or impulse control, is important for a variety of life outcomes, including health, education, and behavior. In criminology, the most popular perspective on self-control argues that it is a multidimensional trait that is relatively stable after about age 8. Some work, however, has shown that in fact, self-control may not be as stable as originally thought. This article examines the evidence on interventions seeking to enhance self-control and subsequently to reduce delinquent or criminal behavior. The evidence is growing but still in need of development. Implications for future research and practice are discussed in the conclusion.

研究人员早就知道，自我控制或冲动控制对各种生活结果都很重要，包括健康、教育和行为。在犯罪学中，关于自我控制最流行的观点认为，自我控制是一种多维度的特征，大约在8岁以后相对稳定。然而，一些研究表明，事实上，自我控制可能并不像最初想象的那样稳定。这篇文章检查的证据干预寻求提高自我控制，随后减少违法或犯罪行为。证据越来越多，但仍需要进一步发展。结语部分讨论了对未来研究和实践的启示。
