Self-control refers to the ability to override impulses and behave in accordance with societal norms. Deficits in self-control are strongly associated with conduct problems, externalizing disorders, crime, and violence. The main aim of the present study is to investigate possible moderation and mediation effects related to self-control. A school sample of male ( n = 257, M = 15.97 years, SD = .98 years) and female ( n = 213, M = 15.79 years, SD = 1.03 years) youth from Portugal agreed to participate. Moderation analysis revealed that sex moderates the relationship between self-control and aggression, conduct disorder symptoms, and self-reported delinquency. Mediation analysis revealed that self-control mediates the relations between both triarchic psychopathic traits and dark triad traits, and the self-reported juvenile delinquency outcome. The findings suggest that self-control exerts significant effects on the criminal/antisocial-related variables examined among Portuguese youth.

The Relationship

Hirschi has repeatedly argued that the relationship between social learning variables and crime is a product of “self-selection” driven by low self-control (LSC). Akers’ has suggested that social learning mechanisms, such as affiliations with deviant individuals and acceptance of criminal definitions, can mediate the effects of LSC on crime. Interestingly, there has been little comparative work done to explore this mediation hypothesis in the realm of substance use for offender populations outside of the United States. This study helps fill these gaps in the literature by exploring the potential mediation effects of social learning variables on the relationship between LSC and inhalant use among a sample of 739 male offenders in South Korea. Our results provide strong support for the mediation hypothesis that LSC indirectly influences self-reported inhalant use through social learning mechanisms.

Chapter 4 examines Fenelon’s ideas on statesmanship. Focusing on his views on the relationship of moral virtue to political virtue, it emphasizes his core teaching that good governance of others begins with good government of the self. Yet the self-rule and self-control that Fénelon asks of political leaders is distinct from the renunciation and “annihilation” of the self central to his spirituality of pure love. Good rulers, he argues, need to cultivate both mastery of pernicious pleasures and openness to true pleasures, as each disposition has a crucial political function. To show this, the chapter begins with Fénelon’s distinction between true pleasure and false pleasure, and then shows how this distinction shapes his lessons on how a ruler ought to be disposed toward ministers and counselors. The chapter concludes by examining Fénelon’s understanding of the practical political institutions most necessary for justice in the state.

The Relationship

The nature of the relationship between self-controlled conditions and the participant's perception of when and how to use a physical assistance device while practicing a balancing task was examined. Participants in the Self-control group ( n = 9) were allowed to decide when to use a balance pole while performing the task, while the Yoked group ( n = 9) had no choice regarding pole usage. The Self-control group had immediate performance benefits that persisted on a delayed retention task. Questionnaire results indicated that the Self-control group predominately used the balance pole when attempting a new performance strategy, while the Yoked group reported they would have preferred use of the pole when attempting a new strategy. Results lend support to the assertion that self-controlled conditions facilitate learning because participants can make decisions regarding assistance based on self-generated performance strategy—as relating to their perception of successful movement execution—to a greater extent than under externally controlled conditions.

Facebook has become indispensable in social interactions. Unmarried users may find a date or life partner by uploading attractive photos of themselves or messaging their crushes. This study developed the Daily Facebook Addiction Scale (DFAS), which focuses on using mobile devices to access Facebook. The aims were explored how flow experience is created based on the self-traits of Facebook users and analyzed the relationship between flow experience and Facebook addiction. Data was obtained 401 participants through the Internet, in total, 231 were addicted to Facebook, that is, they accessed it for &gt;2 hours a day. This study indicated: (1) users&rsquo; concentration and interactivity had a positive effect on creating flow experience but enjoyment did not. (2) Respondents&rsquo; flow experiences had a significant effect on Facebook addiction. (3) The subfactors of a respondent&rsquo;s self-traits individually had positive effects on flow experience and Facebook addiction, and self-control generated the most significant effect. Three antecedents, namely self-traits, flow experience, and Facebook addiction, do indeed affect each other.

The Relationship

While Gottfredson and Hirschi’s general theory of crime is one of the most empirically tested theories of deviance, the theory offers hypotheses that range far beyond how self-control should affect behavior. This study is broadly focused on how self-control operates between friends by considering how the general theory’s main construct relates to friendship conflict. Using a large dyadic dataset, three-level hybrid item-response models regress the actor’s proclivity to experience conflict with the friend onto measures of the actor’s self-control, the friend’s self-control, and an interaction between the self-control estimates. Results demonstrate that the actor’s and the friend’s self-control both significantly relate to friendship conflict, as the theory would expect. However, the actor’s and friend’s levels of self-control do not interact.
