Effectiveness of Matrix Treatment on Depression and Temptation in Consumption Amphetamine Dependent Individuals

When embarking on such an uncertain project as the creation of a new journal in what is not exactly a recognized academic field — a print journal, no less, for the discussion of systems for electronic text markup — it is difficult to avoid the temptation to explain the rationale and goals of the journal. We have neither avoided nor attempted to resist that temptation, and this essay is the resu...

This paper presents a model of choice induced by constrained optimization, where the constraint sets are subjective. The main idea is that the decisionmaker (DM) faces an unobservable constraint, e.g. temptation, at the point of choice and this constraint distorts choices by rendering some objects in the menu infeasible. This creates a distinction between the (objective) physical set of choices...

We analyze a two period model of temptation for a finite choice setting. We formalize the idea that temptation depends only on the most tempting alternatives and provide two representations of such preferences. The representation is an ordinal analogue of the self-control preferences in Gul and Pesendorfer (2001). † This research was supported by grants SES9911177, SES0236882, SES9905178 and SE...

This chapter explains how depletion operates within the conceptual framework of integrative self-control theory (SCT; Kotabe & Hofmann, 2015). SCT is a broad and integrative model of self-control which comprises seven components or “nodes”: desire, higher-order goal, desiregoal conflict, control motivation, control capacity, control effort, and enactment constraints. The interplay of these comp...

The purpose of the present study (N=80 undergraduate students) was to examine two issues: first, does external control lead to an increase in resistance to temptation more than the use of autonomy support? Second, what are the long-term effects of these types of educational style? Based on the Personality Systems Interaction (PSI) theory, external control was expected to increase resistance to ...
