Australia is faced with an ageing population, and thus an increasingly important national goal is ageing well and ageing productively. Our preliminary research suggests that self-regulation may be a significant problem for older Australians. The proposed research will provide a clearer picture of when and why older adults have difficulties regulating their behaviour, and which older adults are particularly susceptible to lapses in self-control. If older adults do have difficulties self-regulating, and if these self-regulation failures incur health, financial and social costs, by gaining a clearer understanding of this problem, the proposed research will take an important step in improving the lives of older Australians.

澳大利亚面临着人口老龄化，因此一个日益重要的国家目标是充分老龄化和富有成效地老龄化。我们的初步研究表明，自律可能是澳大利亚老年人面临的一个重大问题。这项拟议的研究将提供一幅更清晰的图景，说明老年人何时以及为什么难以控制自己的行为，以及哪些老年人特别容易失去自控力。如果老年人在自我调节方面确实有困难，如果这些自我调节失败导致健康、经济和社会成本，通过更清楚地了解这个问题，拟议中的研究将在改善澳大利亚老年人的生活方面迈出重要的一步。
