改良型セルフ・コントロールを活性化する要因

杉若, 弘子

Reformative self-control is a behavioral process in which a person engages in delaying gratification for the sake of future rewards. This study examined the effects of person and situational variables on the reformative self-control. Individual differences in behavioral repertoires of self-control and environmental change by manipulating the difficulty (controllability) and predictability, respectively, were person and situational variables in the context of the present study. The Redressive-Reformative Self-Control Scale was used to screen 579 undergraduates, who were then divided into 2 groups on the basis of the number of behavioral repertoires of reformative self-control: many (the HRF, n=85) or few (the LRF, n=62). The execution of reformative self-control in preparing an academic test was assessed under four conditions constructed by 2 (difficulty of the situation) × 2 (predictability of the consequence) factorial design. As the influence of person variable, the HRF subjects reported more execution of reformative self-control than the LRF subjects irrespective of the situational conditions. As the effects of situational variables, the reformative self-control was significantly more adopted in difficulty-high and predictability-high condition than in three other conditions. The interaction of person and situational variables revealed that the reformative self-control was accelerated under the difficulty-high or the predictability-high condition among the HRF subjects, whereas for the LRF subjects, the control was just activated under the difficulty-high and the predictability-high condition.
