Self-control refers to the ability to choose options with greater long-term benefits over more immediately tempting options. For personal choices that do not affect others, self-control is often conceptualized as morally irrelevant. However, four focal experiments and five supplemental experiments demonstrate that self-control success in apparently nonmoral domains enhances evaluations of moral character, but self-control failure is not regarded as evidence of moral corruption. This asymmetry supports our : self-control is regarded as the ability to bring about intended outcomes, which is believed necessary for moral goodness but not moral badness.

自我控制是指选择具有更大长期利益的选项而非更具即时诱惑的选项的能力。对于不影响他人的个人选择，自我控制通常被认为在道德上无关紧要。然而，四项重点实验和五项补充实验表明，在明显非道德领域的自我控制成功会提升对道德品质的评价，但自我控制失败并不被视为道德败坏的证据。这种不对称支持了我们的观点：自我控制被视为实现预期结果的能力，人们认为这对道德善是必要的，但对道德恶并非如此。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2022美国心理学会，保留所有权利）
