Self-control and impulsiveness: Resolution of apparent contradictions in choice behavior
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 February 2010
Abstract
Choosing the smaller, less delayed reinforcers of drug abuse (including cessation of withdrawal) over the larger, more delayed reinforcers of a healthy life can be described as impulsiveness (the opposite of self-control). Examination of drug abuse using a self-control/impulsiveness framework can help explain many of the puzzles about this behavior, while tying drug abuse into a large research database.
