与普遍的看法相反，最近的研究表明，自我控制的特质促进了健康行为，不是因为那些自我控制能力强的人更能成功地抵制单一的诱惑，而是因为他们养成了适应性习惯。本文通过研究习惯在解释自我控制与不健康零食行为之间关系中的中介作用，首次对这一新观点进行了实证检验。结果表明，自我控制与不健康的零食消费和不健康的零食习惯呈负相关。根据假设，自我控制与不健康零食摄入之间的关系是由习惯强度介导的。自我控制与水果消费或水果消费习惯无关。这些结果首次证明，高度的自我控制可能会影响习惯的形成，进而影响行为。此外，结果表明，在抑制不健康食物摄入而不是促进健康食物摄入的情况下，自我控制可能特别有影响力。
In contrast to prevailing beliefs, recent research suggests that trait self-control promotes health behavior not because those high in self-control are more successful at resisting single temptations, but rather because they develop adaptive habits. The present paper presents a first empirical test of this novel suggestion by investigating the mediating role of habit in explaining the relation between self-control and unhealthy snacking behavior. Results showed that self-control was negatively associated with unhealthy snack consumption and unhealthy snacking habits. As hypothesized, the relation between self-control and unhealthy snack intake was mediated by habit strength. Self-control was not associated with fruit consumption or fruit consumption habits. These results provide the first evidence for the notion that high self-control may influence the formation of habits and in turn affect behavior. Moreover, results imply that self-control may be particularly influential in case of inhibiting unhealthy food intake rather than promoting healthy food intake.
