Feeling Well Surrounded: How Body Shape Mobility Influences Self-Control
This research investigates the impact of body shape mobility (i.e. the belief that available means enable oneself to reach a goal) on the attainment of long-term goals. We show in three studies that body shape mobility perceptions positively influence self-control and that this effect is mediated by goal attainability.
