执行功能（EF）被定义为一组自上而下的过程，用于推理，形成目标，计划，集中和抑制。人们普遍认为，这些过程对自我控制至关重要，因此，EF行为任务测量的表现应与日常生活结果的个体差异相关。本研究的目的是测试这一核心假设，集中在EF方面的抑制。463名大学生被试完成了五项实验室抑制任务、沿着三项自我控制量表和28项生活结果量表。结果表明，虽然大多数的生活结果的措施与自我报告的自我控制，只有一个结果与抑制任务的表现在潜在变量水平，这种关联是在意想不到的方向。此外，在个人任务水平上发现的协会很少。这些发现挑战了基于实验室的抑制任务的效标效度。更一般地说，当考虑到抑制任务和自我报告的自我控制措施之间缺乏收敛有效性，调查结果怀疑任务的结构有效性的自我控制过程的措施。基于实验室的抑制任务的性能不佳的潜在方法和理论原因进行了讨论。
Executive functioning (EF) is defined as a set of top-down processes used in reasoning, forming goals, planning, concentrating, and inhibition. It is widely believed that these processes are critical to self-control and, therefore, that performance on behavioral task measures of EF should be associated with individual differences in everyday life outcomes. The purpose of the present study was to test this core assumption, focusing on the EF facet of inhibition. A sample of 463 undergraduates completed five laboratory inhibition tasks, along with three self-report measures of self-control and 28 self-report measures of life outcomes. Results showed that although most of the life outcome measures were associated with self-reported self-control, only one of the outcomes was associated with inhibition task performance at the latent-variable level, and this association was in the unexpected direction. Furthermore, few associations were found at the individual task level. These findings challenge the criterion validity of lab-based inhibition tasks. More generally, when considered alongside the known lack of convergent validity between inhibition tasks and self-report measures of self-control, the findings cast doubt on the task’s construct validity as measures of self-control processes. Potential methodological and theoretical reasons for the poor performance of laboratory-based inhibition tasks are discussed.
