| Abstract |
From a dispositional perspective, we extend the action identification\n theory (Vallacher & Wegner, 1987) and construal level theory (Trope &\n Liberman, 2003) to cross-situational consistency of self and\n self-control. Two studies examined the relationships among the abstract\n mindset (Vallacher & Wegner, 1989), cross-situational consistency in\n self-concept (Vignoles et al., 2016), and self-control (Tangney,\n Baumeister, and Boone 2004). In Study 1, participants (N = 725)\n characterized by high cross-situational consistency showed more\n abstraction in their thinking (p < .001, (2)(p) = .17). In Study 2 (N =\n 244) cross-situational consistency and self-control explained 10% of\n construal level, with self-control being a significant predictor (p <\n .001). Construal level and cross-situational consistency explained 17%\n of self-control; both were significant predictors (p < .001).\n Self-control explained 8% of cross-situational consistency (p < .001).\n Study 2 showed that participants with higher levels of abstraction,\n cross-situational consistency, and self-control reported a greater\n intention to control their future sugar intake (p < .001). Data\n supported relationships among abstract construal level,\n cross-situational consistency and self-control. |
