We build on Ainslie's discussion of willpower by highlighting another common misconception in the literature: the conflation of self-control and willpower. In our commentary, we identify this issue and discuss the importance of recognizing willpower not as synonymous with self-control, but rather as a subset of self-control. We describe a set of upstream strategies as more effective alternatives to willpower.

意志力是自我控制的一种形式，但不是自我控制的同义词

我们在 Ainslie 对意志力的讨论的基础上强调了文献中另一个常见的误解：自我控制和意志力的混为一谈。在我们的评论中，我们确定了这个问题并讨论了认识到意志力不是自我控制的同义词，而是作为自我控制的一个子集的重要性。我们将一组上游策略描述为意志力的更有效替代方案。
