Self-control as habit
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 February 2010
Abstract
Self-control has traditionally been explained in the terms of faculty psychology, as the exercise of free will or the use of reason in choosing between different individual acts. Rachlin explains self-control behavioristically, as the preference for habits over individual acts. His explanation resolves the paradoxes faced by the others and has the additional advantage of being verifiable.
