ABSTRACT: The aims
of this study were to investigate the differences in responses for varied
self-control experiment paradigms, and to explain these differences on the
basis of social cognitive semantic conflicts and social cognitive reaction
conflicts. Using two mixed experimental designs, the study incorporated the
stop signal and single-attribute implicit association test paradigms into a
self-control experiment paradigm to investigate self constructs. Social
cognitive semantic conflicts and social cognitive reaction conflicts were
significant at 250 - 300 ms post-stimulus. According to different genders,
self-control mechanism has universal significance.
