Popis: [Abstract] Previous studies have demonstrated that self-control has trait and state aspects. The former assumes that self-control is stable over time, whereas the latter is changeable with the given situation. As trait and state aspects are not mutually exclusive, we examined the interaction effect of trait and state self-control on deviant behavior using a scenario method. We provided 46 participants (20 men and 26 women) with six scenarios depicting a conflict situation and asked them whether or not they would commit deviant behavior. Then, participants described the cost and severity of committing deviant behavior (situational self-control), and rated their intent to commit deviant behavior. We also asked them to rate their perceived degree of trait self-control. We conducted a hierarchical multiple regression analysis on intent to commit deviant behavior. The results revealed that trait and situational self-control were related with intent to commit deviant behaviors but we did not find a significant interaction effect. Furthermore, we also found an interaction effect between a subcomponent of trait (anger) and situational self-control by conducting additional analysis. These results implied that our hypothesis was partially supported.
