Abstract

ABSTRACT Temptations are ubiquitous in daily life. In the present studies, we examined reflective justifications for indulging in these temptations. In Study 1, people reported deserving pleasurable activities (at the expense of goal pursuits) after imagining positive events for which they were responsible or negative events for which they were not responsible. In Study 2, participants reported more indulging and less goal progress when they considered negative events if they were given a chance to reflect on their lack of responsibility for those events. Combined, this evidence suggests people might frequently reflect on their experiences in ways that promote indulging.

善待自己：积极和消极的情绪都可以为自我调节的放纵提供理由

日常生活中，诱惑无处不在。在目前的研究中，我们研究了沉迷于这些诱惑的反思理由。在研究1中，人们在想象了他们负责的积极事件或他们不负责的消极事件后，报告了值得愉快的活动(以牺牲目标追求为代价)。在研究2中，如果参与者有机会反思他们对这些负面事件缺乏责任，那么当他们考虑负面事件时，他们会更放纵，更少实现目标。综上所述，这些证据表明，人们可能经常以促进放纵的方式反思自己的经历。

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.
