Measuring Self-Control

[edit] Skinner's Survey Is Not "Exhaustive" IMO

Who said that Skinner's survey of self-control techniques is exhaustive? An obvious self-control technique is to practice making the "good self-control choice" - but I don't see it on the list. --New Thought (talk) 10:23, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rewrite

I tagged this article for rewrite because it's merely a collection of links, which could even be called promotional links. It offers no information whatsoever on self control/willpower. Also the 2nd section should be moved to its own article. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 18:59, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

I can't find any good resources to expand the article. What I can do, however, is clean it up to make a rewrite easier. I'll get to work as soon as I get some changes made to a template I want to use. --Gray Porpoise 14:03, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
I reorganized the information, putting the links in an "External links" section, and putting a splitsection template above the second section. I am not yet sure how the article should be rewritten, but I cleaned it up so the task will be easier. --Gray Porpoise 18:26, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

This subject is very important and there are many good resources. I will also help in the most non-biased way possible. --Liane J. Leedom, M.D. 18:26, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

I have added a considerable amount to this page from a behavior analytic perspective. However, this is quite different from the perspective it was originally written in. I have perhaps 30 more research articles I can add, as well as an enormous amount of theory (all well cited!) that should be coming up on wikipedia in the next 2-3 months.

In the section on conventional understandings of self control, the author states that in 2 Peter 1:5-8 "The Apostle Peter describes an increase in self control as fundamental to the salvation of a Christian." If one reads further, it is evident that this increase in self-control leads to a deeper knowledge of Christ, not salvation. Peter does not claim that one must display an increase of self control for salvation.
