Abstract

ABSTRACT Three studies (N = 555) examined whether emotion regulation and emotions help people higher in trait self-control (TSC) to achieve their goals. Because emotion utility beliefs predict emotion regulation and performance, Study 1a examined whether TSC predicts emotion utility beliefs in two performance contexts, and Study 1b examined whether these beliefs predict preferences to regulate emotions. Study 2 examined whether TSC predicts choice to regulate emotions, and how choice and emotions influence self-control performance. While TSC did not predict emotion regulation, people higher in TSC considered positive (negative) emotions more (less) useful and experienced more (less) positive (negative) emotion after an emotion regulation task, which enhanced their self-control performance. This research underscores the role of emotion regulation and emotions in self-control.

自我控制特质与关于情绪和情绪调节在自我控制表现中的效用的信念

摘要三项研究（N=555）检验了情绪调节和情绪是否有助于特质自我控制（TSC）较高的人实现目标。由于情绪效用信念预测情绪调节和表现，研究1a检验了TSC是否在两种表现情境中预测情绪效用信念，研究1b检验了这些信念是否预测了调节情绪的偏好。研究2考察了TSC是否预测了调节情绪的选择，以及选择和情绪如何影响自我控制表现。虽然TSC不能预测情绪调节，但TSC较高的人认为积极（消极）情绪更有用（更少），在情绪调节任务后体验到更多（更少）积极（负面）情绪，这增强了他们的自我控制能力。这项研究强调了情绪调节和情绪在自我控制中的作用。

期刊介绍： Work on self and identity has a special place in the study of human nature, as self-concerns are arguably at the center of individuals" striving for well-being and for making sense of one"s life. Life goals develop and are influenced by one"s view of what one is like, the way one would ideally like to be (or would like to avoid being), as well as one"s perceptions of what is feasible. Furthermore, conceptions of self and the world affect how one"s progress towards these goals is monitored, evaluated, redirected, re-evaluated, and pursued again. Thus, the “self” as a construct has far-reaching implications for behavior, self-esteem, motivation, experience of emotions and the world more broadly, and hence for interpersonal relationships, society, and culture.
