Action Control

Action Control is a psychological process that helps individuals manage and regulate their behaviors, especially in situations where they might be tempted to act differently than intended. It involves monitoring one’s impulses, making deliberate choices, and maintaining focus on long-term goals despite distractions or temptations. Essentially, it’s the mental skill that enables self-discipline and persistence, allowing people to stay on track with their plans or commitments. Action Control contributes to goal achievement by promoting deliberate, controlled actions over impulsive reactions.
