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.

牢牢抓住生活是自我控制信念的可能先决条件，它会与幸福感和感觉到的压力互动

自我控制已被确立为生活各个领域的重要因素，对总体福祉具有重要意义。因此，自我诱导的缺乏自我控制可能对幸福感有害。自我诱导的缺乏自我控制可能源自对自我控制作为有限资源的内在信念，但研究表明这种信念是没有根据的。此外，已经表明，将自我控制资源视为无限的信念会对生活的许多领域产生积极影响，并最终对幸福感产生积极影响。这项研究解决了关于自我控制资源的先行信念问题，并提出了可能的先决条件，即基于技能的目标设定和目标方法的个人“掌握生命”。
