Several studies have shown that trait self‐control predicts affective instability: higher self‐control is related to lower affective instability (or higher stability). However, these studies have not discriminated between positive and negative affective instability. In this study, we investigated whether self‐control is related to positive and/or negative affective instability. We conducted an experience sampling survey with 79 participants (20 males and 59 females;Mage= 19.16 years,SDage= 1.11) to measure affective instability and a post‐survey session to measure trait self‐control. In the experience sampling survey period, the participants received six emails a day over 7 days (i.e., 42 signals in total) from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. at intervals of more than 1 hr and indicated how intensely they experienced positive and negative affect at that time. The results revealed that trait self‐control was related to positive, but not negative, affective instability. We discuss the results and offer some possible explanations for previous findings about the relationship between trait self‐control and affective instability.
