“…For the past several decades, the most prominent theory of self-control has been the dual-process model, which pits immediate impulses against broader, long-term goals (e.g., Hofmann, Friese, & Strack, 2009;James, 1890;Metcalfe & Mischel, 1999). The impulses arise from the immediate hedonic value of a specific stimulus, leading to an automatic inclination to perform a behaviour aimed at satisfying the desire (Hofmann et al, 2009;Hofmann & Van Dillen, 2012). Although acting on our desires is not inherently bad (Kopetz, Woerner, & Briskin, 2018), it becomes problematic when they interfere with our longer-term goals and can have negative consequences on long-term health and well-being (e.g., De Ridder, Lensvelt-Mulders, Finkenauer, Stok, & Baumeister, 2012;Duckworth & Seligman, 2005).…”
