Meta-analysis finds a mediational model linking trait self-control to health behaviors, indicating future research directions.
Findings provide preliminary support for the model signaling a candidate mechanism for trait self-control-health behavior relations and providing prior effect size and variability estimates that could be expected in future studies. Impulse-related behaviors represent a key moderating condition that magnifies trait self-control-behavior effects. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved).
