The science of willpower and self-control
ASK one of the world’s leading social psychologists, Roy Baumeister, about willpower and self-control.
Self Control & Decision Making
How do people regulate their emotions, resist temptation, break bad habits, and perform up to their potential and why do they often fail to do so?
The Need to Belong
How do people react to being rejected or excluded from social groups? How do they respond to romantic heartbreak?
Human Sexuality
How do nature and culture influence people's sex drive, rape and sexual coercion, and the cultural suppression of female sexuality. How do couples negotiate their sexual patterns?
Irrationality & Self-Destructive Behavior
Why do people do stupid things? Self-defeating behavior is the essence of irrationality.
Consciousness & Free Will
What role do conscious processes play in how people decide their actions? Does emotion cause behavior? Is the conscious experience of free choice an illusion?
