为什么人们的冲动控制在情绪困扰时会崩溃？一些理论认为，痛苦会削弱一个人的动机或自我控制的能力，还有一些理论认为，这种情绪会导致自我毁灭的意图。与这些理论相反，三个实验发现，相信一个人的坏情绪是冻结的（不可改变的）消除了吃增肥零食的倾向（实验1），寻求立即满足（实验2），并从事轻浮的拖延（实验3）。这意味着，当人们感到沮丧时，他们会放纵即时冲动，让自己感觉更好，这相当于将短期情绪调节优先于其他自我调节目标。
Why do people's impulse controls break down during emotional distress? Some theories propose that distress impairs one's motivation or one's ability to exert self-control, and some postulate self-destructive intentions arising from the moods. Contrary to those theories, Three experiments found that believing that one's bad mood was frozen (unchangeable) eliminated the tendency to eat fattening snacks (Experiment 1), seek immediate gratification (Experiment 2), and engage in frivolous procrastination (Experiment 3). The implication is that when people are upset, they indulge immediate impulses to make themselves feel better, which amounts to giving short-term affect regulation priority over other self-regulatory goals.
