Phenomenology of Self-Restraint

Drebrin shows self-restraint

Injured neurons pump up the volume A wounded axon sends out a long-distance distress signal. HuntworkRodriguez et al. uncovered a positive feedback loop that might amplify the alarm and help it spread along the axon. A damaged axon dispatches an alert to the cell body, which fi res up genes that— depending on the neuron’s location—trigger healing or cause the axon to degenerate and the cell to ...

Self-Rewards for Prior Shopping Restraint 1 Running Head: SELF-REWARDS FOR PRIOR SHOPPING RESTRAINT Indulgence as Self-Reward for Prior Shopping Restraint: A Justification-Based Mechanism

Four experiments involving scenarios and real decisions demonstrate that the salience of restraint at a prior impulse buying opportunity causes consumers to reward themselves subsequently by choosing indulgenc...

Self-esteem was unrelated to the eating behavior of unrestrained subjects following a preload, but did moderate the disinhibitory effects of a preload on restrained subjects. Specifically, only those restrained subjects with low self-esteem displayed disinhibited eating after a pr...
