Grip on Life as a possible antecedent for self‐control beliefs interacts with well‐being and perceived stress

Abstract

Self-control has been established as an important factor in various domains of life, significant for general well-being; thus, a self-induced lack of self-control may prove detrimental for well-being. Self-induced lack of self-control may stem from implicit beliefs about self-control as a limited resource, but research has shown this belief to be unwarranted. Furthermore, it has been shown that a belief about self-control resources as unlimited has a positive effect on many domains in life and ultimately on well-being. This study addresses the question of antecedent beliefs about self-control resources and proposes personal Grip on Life, defined as skill-based goal setting and goal approaches, as a possible antecedent. This points to development of interventions altering a limited belief to an unlimited belief based on empowerment of one's Grip on Life.
