“…In essence, this fi nding could be characterized as preliminary evidence of a protective effect such that participants with more self-control and lower identifi cation with drinking are less likely to have alcohol problems. The current fi ndings were, thus, most consistent with previous research on the direct role of self-control in predicting alcohol variables (e.g., Collins and Lapp, 1992;Collins et al, 1989;McGue et al, 2001) and extended those fi ndings by considering both trait and alcohol-related self-control simultaneously and evaluating their associations with alcohol variables.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective:We investigated trait and alcohol-specifi c self-control as unique predictors and moderators of the relation between implicit drinking identity associations and drinking. Method: Three hundred undergraduates completed a drinking identity Implicit Association Test (IAT), trait and alcohol self-control questionnaires, and alcohol consumption, problems, and cravings inventories. Results: Regression analyses tested for unique effects of predictors and for Self-Control × IAT interactions. Each predictor accounted for unique variance in consumption, but there was no evidence of moderation effects. Both types of self-control, but not IAT scores, accounted for unique variance in problems. A Trait Self-Control × Implicit Drinking interaction accounted for excess zeros in problems, with a greater likelihood of not having alcohol problems among individuals with low implicit identity who had higher versus lower trait self-control. Each predictor accounted for unique variance in cravings. A Trait Self-Control × IAT interaction was also found, indicating that implicit drinking identity was a stronger predictor of cravings among those with lower versus higher trait self-control. Conclusions: Results are partially consistent with previous research: Both types of self-control and drinking identity associations predicted unique variance in drinking, and moderation effects were observed for trait selfcontrol and drinking identity associations and two of the three drinking variables. Findings suggest that trait and alcohol-specifi c self-control and implicit drinking identity could be useful intervention targets. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 75, 290-298, 2014)

“…More relevant to the present discussion, however, this effect was moderated by individual differences in temptation to drink alcohol, as measured by the Temptation and Restraint Inventory (TRI; Collins & Lapp, 1992). Participants who scored high in trait temptation to drink consumed more alcohol than those low in temptation-but only after the thought suppression task.…”

Self-regulation is a highly adaptive, distinctively human trait that enables people to override and alter their responses, including changing themselves so as to live up to social and other standards. Recent evidence indicates that self-regulation often consumes a limited resource, akin to energy or strength, thereby creating a temporary state of ego depletion. This article summarizes recent evidence indicating that regular exercises in self-regulation can produce broad improvements in self-regulation (like strengthening a muscle), making people less vulnerable to ego depletion. Furthermore, it shows that ego depletion moderates the effects of many traits on behavior, particularly such that wide differences in socially disapproved motivations produce greater differences in behavior when ego depletion weakens the customary inner restraints.Self-regulation is an important personality process by which people seek to exert control over their thoughts, their feelings, their impulses and appetites, and their task performances. The human capacity for self-regulation appears to be much more extensive than what is found in other animals, which may suggest that the evolutionary pressures that guided the selection of traits that make up human nature, such as participation in cultural groups, found self-regulation to be especially adaptive and powerful (Baumeister, 2005). If so, then self-regulation may be one of the most distinctively human traits. Even if human beings are capable of more self-regulation than other animals, however, their capacity is far less than what many Correspondence concerning this article may be sent to R. Baumeister,

“…Passion is also distinct from motives and expectancies, which refer to specific domains such as social and affective (e.g., Cooper, 1994;Fromme et al, 1993;Kuntsche et al, 2005;Simons et al, 2005), whereas passion refers more to the magnitude of internal or external desire to engage in a particular behavior. Passion is also distinctive from scales that assess temptation and restraint (Collins & Lapp, 1992), which focus more on rumination and strategies for avoiding consumption. In addition, obsessive passion is distinct from urge and craving, which are typically conceptualized to be more time limited, temporary states, whereas passion is conceptualized as being more persistent and stable (Sayette et al, 2000).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Although the concepts of harmonious and obsessive passion have been productive in explaining why people eagerly engage in such activities as sports, Internet use, and gambling, previous research has not yet extended these models to explain alcohol and marijuana use among college students. The current research was conducted to clarify the relationships among harmonious and obsessive passion, alcohol and marijuana use, and negative consequences. Method: Two studies were conducted using online assessments. In Study 1, 748 heavy drinking college students (58% female) were recruited and completed measures of passion for drinking alcohol, alcohol use, and alcohol-related negative consequences. In Study 2, 352 regular marijuana-using students (54% female) were recruited and completed assessments of marijuana passion, marijuana use, and marijuana-related consequences. Results:Study 1 found that among heavy drinking college students, harmonious passion was a stronger predictor of increased consumption than was obsessive passion, whereas obsessive passion was a stronger predictor of alcohol-related problems than was harmonious passion. Study 2 revealed similar findings with regard to harmonious passion predicting marijuana consumption; however, unlike Study 1, no significant difference between the passions was found in predicting marijuana-related problems. Conclusions: This research provides a novel perspective on motivation for alcohol and marijuana use. Findings suggest that understanding the locus of young adults' passion for substance use may be helpful in identifying those who are likely to develop a substance use disorder and therefore may be the most in need of assistance and intervention.
