Why the study?
Is higher trait self-control associated with less intense visceral states?
Population
Individuals (specific demographics and sample size not stated in abstract)
Design
Cross-sectional
Key result
Higher trait self-control negatively correlated with responses to measures of hunger, fatigue, stress, and the common cold, partially mediated by recent sleeping and eating behavior.

Higher self-control was associated with milder visceral states via behaviors; cross-sectional data leave open causality and clinical relevance.

Is higher trait self-control associated with less intense visceral states?
Higher trait self-control is associated with less intense visceral states, potentially mediated by healthful behaviors such as better sleeping and eating.
Baldwin et al. (2018) reported a cross-sectional. Higher trait self-control was evaluated on Intensity and likelihood of visceral states (hunger, fatigue, stress, common cold). Higher trait self-control negatively correlated with responses to measures of hunger, fatigue, stress, and the common cold, partially mediated by recent sleeping and eating behavior.
