Duckworth, A.L. (2011). The significance of self-control. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. PNAS, 108(7), 2639–2640. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1019725108Sammendrag
Self-control is among the most widely studied constructs in the social sciences. For instance, more than 3% of peer-reviewed psychology articles in the past year were referenced by the key word “self-control” or closely related terms. The report by Moffitt et al. (1) in PNAS substantially advances this growing literature by demonstrating robust predictive associations between childhood self-control and a wide range of consequential life outcomes in a large, nationally representative sample of New Zealanders.
