作者提出，自我控制涉及以符合高层与低层对情况的解释的方式做出决策和行为。高级解释（捕捉事件的全局、高级、主要特征）的激活应该比低级解释（捕捉局部、从属、次要特征）的激活带来更好的自我控制。在使用 3 种不同技术的 6 项实验中，作者操纵了解释水平并评估了它们对自我控制和潜在心理过程的影响。高水平的解释导致人们对立即结果的偏好减少，而不是对延迟结果的偏好，身体耐力更强，自我控制的意愿更强，对破坏自我控制的诱惑的评价不那么积极。这些结果支持对自我控制的解释层面的分析。
The authors propose that self-control involves making decisions and behaving in a manner consistent with high-level versus low-level construals of a situation. Activation of high-level construals (which capture global, superordinate, primary features of an event) should lead to greater self-control than activation of low-level construals (which capture local, subordinate, secondary features). In 6 experiments using 3 different techniques, the authors manipulated construal levels and assessed their effects on self-control and underlying psychological processes. High-level construals led to decreased preferences for immediate over delayed outcomes, greater physical endurance, stronger intentions to exert self-control, and less positive evaluations of temptations that undermine self-control. These results support a construal-level analysis of self-control.
