自利与亲环境选择的冲突导致了环境保护的心理障碍。我们认为自我理解可以影响这种冲突选择中的偏好，而自我控制在其中起中介作用。目前的研究提供了与绿色消费相关的相互矛盾的选择。参与者被要求在购买环保（有利于环境）和便宜（有利于自身利益）的产品之间做出选择。同时具有慢性依赖性和启动依赖性但不具有独立性的个体选择亲环境选项的可能性增加（研究1a和1b）。在研究2中，相互依赖的个体在Stroop任务中表现出更好的自我控制能力，并且比独立的个体愿意为亲环境的选择付出更多的钱。在研究3中，我们发现在自我耗竭的情况下，这种效应减弱了。我们的研究结果表明，相对于独立个体，相互依赖个体更倾向于支持环境的选择，因为相互依赖个体更善于运用自我控制来抑制他们的自利欲望。(C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
The conflict between self-interested and pro-environmental choices induces psychological barriers to environmental protection. We propose that self-construals can influence the preference in such conflicting choices and that self-control plays a mediating role. The current research offered conflicting choices related to green consumption. Participants were asked to choose between buying eco-friendly (pro-environment) and cheaper (self-interest) products. Individuals with both chronic and primed interdependence but not independence had an increased likelihood of selecting the pro-environmental option (Studies 1a and 1b). In Study 2, interdependent individuals exhibited better self-control in a Stroop task and were willing to pay more for a pro-environmental choice than independent individuals. In Study 3, we found that the effect was diminished in an ego-depletion condition. Our findings indicate that individuals with interdependence favor pro-environmental choices compared with those with independence because interdependent individuals are better at can exerting self-control to restrain their self-interested desires.
