Self-control is an impressive quality, but we have to be cautious of its flaws.
The meta-analysis, which was conducted by Virginia Commonwealth University social psychologist David Chester, went through several papers and studies centered on self-control, violence andto find that despite what we believed in the past, boosting self-control is not a viable method to reduce aggressive behavior. Rather, aggression may be a product of successful self-control.
In terms of brain activity, Chester found that aggression lit up the prefrontal cortex, which is the primary seat of self-control. The prefrontal cortex is where higher-order thinking is carried out — planning,and problem solving. What’s more, people who are vengeful often plan their attack meticulously to maximize and perfectly time the violence or aggression toward people who may have wronged them. This takes a lot of self-control.
When we consider the types of people who frequently engage in violent acts, the vast majority tend to havetendencies. In spite of their psychopathy, such individuals have been known to develop their ability to regulate their behaviors and actions in their teenage years. So, the idea that a lack of self-control explains a violent streak is not the whole truth. Rather, self-control must be understood as a tool to deal with certain situations that call for regulation of impulses. Other times, like when we may be feeling vindictive towards others, it’s okay to give in to our gut, which can actually dissuade us to engage in acts of retribution.Self-control is essentially a series of decisions.
Over time, this can lead to a condition known as decision fatigue, which can lead to flawed decisions that could potentially cause us harm.
