| Research Abstract |
Reformative self-control is directed at breaking habits in order to adopt new and more effective behaviors, and the self-control can be accomplished (a) by the facilitative approaches which promote the adequate behaviors and/or (b) by the inhibitive approaches which control inadequate and habitual behaviors. Concerning these two approaches, this research aimed to examine the following three points. First, conditions these two approaches are useful respectively. Second, factors promote or obstruct two approaches. Third, the facilitative approaches become more effective by using the implementation intentions or not. Results were as follows. (1) The facilitative approaches were more applied under the condition in which the target is not achieved only by suppressing behaviors like the taking credits to graduate, whereas the inhibitive approaches were more executed under the condition in which the approaches from two directions were expected to have the effects at the same level, for instance, the way of health care. (2) The inhibitive approaches can not be executed easily when the period required to keep controlling becomes long or the goal probability deteriorates. On the other hand, the execution level to the facilitative approaches is not decreased easily when either of these two conditions is satisfactory. (3) A combination of the implementation intentions and the self-reinforcement promoted the self-control by the facilitative approaches.
