| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Working memory capacity (WMC) is the ability to control one’s attention, which differs among individuals. This study investigated the effects of WMC on self-regulation. The results revealed that WMC was related to a low degree of procrastination behavior and error behavior in daily life. Moreover, when compared with low-WMC participants, high-WMC participants reported a smaller number of intrusive thoughts during a thought suppression task, and they more successful at a self-regulation task after an ego-depletion manipulation. The possibility that WMC supports not only conscious self-regulation, but also an unconscious self-regulation process, is considered.
