自我控制的能力一直与健康行为的成功执行相联系。然而，在对这一结构的概念化和衡量方面仍然缺乏共识。值得注意的是，自我报告措施与自我控制的行为措施只有很弱的联系，或者根本没有联系。当前研究的目的是检查自我报告和自我控制的行为测量之间的关系，以确定它们是否与健康行为有不同的关系。参与者(N=146)完成问卷调查和自我控制的行为测量，并报告他们的体力活动。通过自我报告的自我控制和行为测量之间的交互作用，观察到自我报告的自我控制对身体活动的直接影响，即在停止信号任务中表现不佳的人和在Stroop任务中表现良好的人中，自我报告的自我控制能力越强，对身体活动的投入越大。这些结果似乎表明，特质自我控制和行为因素的结合导致了对行为的促进或削弱效应。自我报告和自我控制的行为措施似乎不能评估自我控制的相同要素，不应交替使用。研究认为，这些测量模式反映了特质自我控制和特定自我控制过程之间的差异。(C)2015爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
The capacity for self-control has been consistently linked to successful execution of health behaviour. However, a lack of consensus remains in the conceptualisation and measurement of the construct. Notably, self-report measures relate to behavioural measures of self-control only weakly or not at all. The aim of the current research was to examine the relationship between self-report and behavioural measures of self-control to determine whether these differentially relate to health behaviour. Participants (N = 146) completed questionnaire and behavioural measures of self-control, and reported their physical activity. A ditect effect of self-reported self-control on physical activity was observed, qualified by an interaction between self-reported self-control and behavioural measures, whereby greater self-reported self-control was associated with greater engagement in physical activity among those who performed poorly on the stop-signal task and those who performed well on the Stroop task These results appear to indicate that the combination of trait self-control and behavioural factors leads to facilitative or debilitative effects on behaviour. Self-report and behavioural measures of self-control do not appear to assess the same elements of self-control and should not be used interchangeably. It is suggested that these measurement modes reflect a difference between trait self-control and specific self-control processes. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
