“…Given the challenging nature of short-term urges versus long-term ideals when seeking to change behavior, it follows that scientific efforts to address problematic substance use would include the construct of temptation. Indeed, many studies related to substance abuse incorporate the notion of temptation, particularly when describing and examining the process of restraining use-related activities (e.g., Bischof, Rumpf, Meyer, Hapke, & John, 2005; Breitling, Twardella, Raum, & Brenner, 2009; Cohn et al, 2012; Klein, Elifson, & Sterk, 2003; Kleinjan, Visser, & Engels, 2012; Palfai, 2001). It is important to note that other studies have begun to explicitly feature the psychology of temptation, including self-control depletion (e.g., Muraven, Collins, & Neinhaus, 2002; Muraven & Shmueli, 2006).…”
