The current work examined how social factors influence self-control. Current conceptions of state self-control treat it largely as a function of regulatory capacity. The authors propose that state self-control might also be influenced by social factors because of regulatory accessibility. Studies 1 through 4 provide evidence that individuals' state self-control is influenced by the trait and state self-control of salient others such that thinking of others with good trait or state self-control leads to increases in state self-control and thinking of others with bad trait or state self-control leads to decreases in state self-control. Study 5 provides evidence that the salience of significant others influences both regulatory accessibility and state self-control. Combined, these studies suggest that the effects of social influences on state self-control occur through multiple mechanisms.
当前的工作研究了社会因素如何影响自我控制。当前关于状态自我控制的概念在很大程度上将其视为调节能力的函数。作者提出，由于调节的可及性，状态自我控制也可能受到社会因素的影响。研究 1 至 4 提供的证据表明，个体的状态自我控制受到重要他人的特质和状态自我控制的影响，即想到具有良好特质或状态自我控制的他人会导致状态自我控制的增强，而想到具有不良特质或状态自我控制的他人会导致状态自我控制的降低。研究 5 提供的证据表明，重要他人的凸显程度会影响调节的可及性和状态自我控制。综上所述，这些研究表明，社会影响对状态自我控制的影响是通过多种机制发生的。
