The Effect Of Task Relevance And Similarity On Self-control: Evidence From Eye Movements

Self-control is a kind of psychological activity unique to human beings,which is a way for individuals to restrain and regulate their own behaviors,consciousness and emotions to better meet the requirements of social situations.Good self-control can bring about a series of positive effects,while failed self-control can cause many personal and even social problems.Therefore,improving self-control ability becomes more and more important.Existing studies have explored ways to improve the level of self-control from the perspective of those who implement self-control.There are also a few studies that have examined the effects of different tasks(such as temptation resistance tasks,emotional control tasks,thought suppression tasks,and attention control tasks)on self-control.influences.When doing multiple loss tasks in succession,there is a lack of attention to the relationship between multiple tasks,such as common related tasks and similar tasks.This study uses reward motivation and indirect experience on the influence of self-control in similar tasks and related tasks,that is,from the perspective of the relationship between the person who implements self-control and the multiple tasks that require the input of self-control resources,using the physiological data of eye movement Come to discuss the mechanism that affects self-control more comprehensively and systematically,and try to provide a new perspective for related research.Study one uses three stroop tasks and their variants,and takes 93 college and middle school students as samples to explore the influence of indirect experience and reward motivation on self-control in general continuous tasks.The results show that the motivation group and the experience group are in reaction time There is a significant difference between the above and the control group.The second study is based on the first study,and further explores the influence of indirect experience and reward motivation on self-control when multiple tasks are related and similar by changing the relationship between tasks.Experiment one uses the stroop task and the two differences Using 91 college students as a sample to explore the effects of indirect experience and reward motivation on self-control,using 91 college students as a sample to explore the effects of indirect experience and reward motivation on self-control.The results showed that the average fixation time of the motivation group was significantly shorter than that of the control Group,experience group.Experiment 2 uses 3 different audio reading tasks,and 90 college students are used as a sample to explore the conditions that are not related to the task.Under the conditions of similar tasks,the effects of indirect experience and reward motivation on self-control.The results show that the experience group is looking at the average The frequency was significantly less than that of the control group and the motivation group.Study 3 used the Self-Control Scale,the Student’s School Adaptation Scale,and 3 different mathematics to calculate attrition tasks.A sample of 148 high school students was used to explore the influence of indirect experience and reward motivation on self-control in a school setting.The results show a comparison The correct rate and completion rate of the group were significantly lower than the experience group and motivation group.The conclusion shows that in general continuous tasks,reward motivation and indirect experience can improve the level of self-control.When there is a relationship between multiple tasks,different intervention methods should be adopted according to the task: when multiple tasks are related to the subject,it is easier to motivate the subject to complete the task,and it is more effective to use reward motivation to intervene.When multiple tasks are similar,it can promote the participants to sum up experience and solve problems,and it is more effective to use indirect experience to intervene.It is also found that both the energy model and the cognitive structure model have stage effects.The initial self-control task can stimulate the participant’s self-control ability,allowing the participant to have a better level of self-control in the subsequent tasks.It is the cognitive structure model in Domination.After a certain threshold is exceeded,the subject’s self-control level begins to decrease,and it is the energy model that is dominating.The research further shows that the discussion of the self-control operating mechanism needs to consider both human and task factors,so that the mechanism that affects self-control can be explored more comprehensively and systematically.
