在本研究中，我们使用经验抽样来测量日常生活中的欲望和欲望调节。我们的分析包括 205 名成年人的数据，他们在一周内总共提供了 7,827 份关于自己欲望的报告。在不同的欲望领域，结果揭示了欲望频率和强度、欲望与其他目标之间的冲突程度、抵制欲望的可能性以及这种抵制成功的可能性存在显着差异。对睡眠和性的渴望最为强烈，而对烟草和酒精的渴望的平均强度最低，尽管这些物质被认为具有成瘾性。对休闲和睡眠的渴望与其他目标的冲突最为严重，对媒体使用和工作的渴望导致了最严重的自我控制失败。此外，我们观察到对有限资源自我控制模型的支持，该模型采用了累积资源消耗的新颖操作方式：先前进行自我控制的频率和新近程度会负面预测人们在同一天抵制后续欲望的成功程度。
In the present study, we used experience sampling to measure desires and desire regulation in everyday life. Our analysis included data from 205 adults, who furnished a total of 7,827 reports of their desires over the course of a week. Across various desire domains, results revealed substantial differences in desire frequency and strength, the degree of conflict between desires and other goals, and the likelihood of resisting desire and the success of this resistance. Desires for sleep and sex were experienced most intensively, whereas desires for tobacco and alcohol had the lowest average strength, despite the fact that these substances are thought of as addictive. Desires for leisure and sleep conflicted the most with other goals, and desires for media use and work brought about the most self-control failure. In addition, we observed support for a limited-resource model of self-control employing a novel operationalization of cumulative resource depletion: The frequency and recency of engaging in prior self-control negatively predicted people's success at resisting subsequent desires on the same day.
