Question

The small-but-cumulative model suggests that self-control can be improved by ________. a. avoiding behavioral contracting b. viewing each decision as an isolated event rather than part of a larger whole c. focusing on the larger goal rather than a series of sub goals d. establishing rules to help clearly distinguish between acceptable and unacceptable behaviors

Answer 1

Answer:

C) focusing on the larger goal rather than a series of sub goals

Explanation:

One of the main reasons why people have problems with self control is that they keep choosing alternatives that have immediate consequences over those that have delayed consequences. When we have a conflict we tend to focus on what we are going to do at that moment and not what is best for us in the long run.
