A crucial assumption of the recently developed schema model of self-control is that people’s perceived self-control efforts are related to the experience of lowered subjective vitality. In the present study, this assumption was tested. It was also examined whether perceived self-control effort is related to a diffuse affective experience (i.e., subjective vitality, general positive affect, and general negative affect as a combined factor) or is discretely related to subjective vitality, general positive affect, and general negative affect. Based on the previous literature, it was expected that the latter would better fit the data. In a survey study, university students (N = 501) completed standardized measures of their perceived self-control effort, subjective vitality, general positive affect, and general negative affect with regard to a specific frame of reference (i.e., during the current day and the last 2 days). Bivariate correlations and confirmatory factor analyses revealed the expected relationships, meaning that perceived self-control effort was negatively related to subjective vitality and that the statistical model with three distinct affective variables fit the data better than the model with subjective vitality, positive affect, and negative affect incorporated into one common factor. It was concluded that the findings are in line with the schema model of self-control.

最近开发的一个关键假设 自我控制模式模型就是人们认为自我控制的努力与主观生命力降低的经历有关。在本研究中，对该假设进行了检验。还检查了自我控制的努力是否与分散的情感体验有关（即主观活力，普遍的积极影响和普遍的消极影响作为综合因素）还是与主观活力，普遍的积极影响和普遍与生活的离散影响有关。负面影响。根据以前的文献，可以预期后者会更好地拟合数据。在一项调查研究中，大学生（ñ= 501）完成了针对特定参照系（即，当前日期和最近2天）的感知自我控制力，主观生命力，总体正面影响和总体负面影响的标准化度量。双变量相关性和验证性因素分析揭示了预期的关系，这意味着感知到的自我控制努力与主观生命力呈负相关，具有三个截然不同的情感变量的统计模型比具有主观生命力，积极影响和消极的模型更适合数据。影响纳入一个共同因素。结论是，这些发现符合自我控制的模式模型。
