“…Our conclusion about the key role of top-down attention implies that strategies that harness the benefits of powerful distractors, such as mentally engaging activities, may prevent unwanted cravings in response to actual or imagined tempting cues (Florsheim, Heavin, Tiffany, Colvin, & Hiraoka, 2008). The powerful role of attention has also been exemplified by recent work showing how mindfulness-and acceptance-based interventions can reduce cravings in at-risk populations (Alberts, Mulkens, Smeets, & Thewissen, 2010;Forman et al, 2007) and thus help people to break an otherwise maladaptive cycle of desire elaboration.…”

Traditionally, self-control research has put a strong focus on the mechanisms that support the control of behavior in the face of temptation. This emphasis in the field has led to some neglect of desire as an impelling force that needs to be controlled. However, the focus appears to be shifting, as recent research has led to novel insights into the nature of desire. In this review, we integrate these insights into how desire emerges, how it operates, and how it may best be controlled. Drawing on competitiveaccess models of working memory and dynamical reprocessing models, we highlight, among other factors, the role of top-down attentional resources in preventing the early conscious processing and subsequent escalation of desire.

“…Our theoretical framework can also be applied to create a taxonomy of self-control interventions. For example, interventions in which desire is targeted include (a) those that prevent desire from occurring (e.g., Houben, Havermans, & Wiers, 2010) and (b) those that reduce desire strength after desire starts operating (e.g., Florsheim, Heavin, Tiffany, Colvin, & Hiraoka, 2008). As for interventions targeting higher order goals, examples come from traditional health psychology.…”

As the science of self-control matures, the organization and integration of its key concepts becomes increasingly important. In response, we identified seven major components or "nodes" in current theories and research bearing on self-control: desire, higher order goal, desire-goal conflict, control motivation, control capacity, control effort, and enactment constraints. To unify these diverse and interdisciplinary areas of research, we formulated the interplay of these components in an integrative model of self-control. In this model, desire and an at least partly incompatible higher order goal generate desire-goal conflict, which activates control motivation. Control motivation and control capacity interactively determine potential control effort. The actual control effort invested is determined by several moderators, including desire strength, perceived skill, and competing goals. Actual control effort and desire strength compete to determine a prevailing force, which ultimately determines behavior, provided that enactment constraints do not impede it. The proposed theoretical framework is useful for highlighting several new directions for research on self-control and for classifying self-control failures and self-control interventions.

“…Indeed, recent research has shown that cognitively demanding tasks (unrelated to the temptation at hand) can reduce or eliminate the experience of desire (Kemps et al, 2008b), even for people easily tempted by (food) rewards in their environment (van Dillen et al, 2013). Accordingly, more applied work has shown that distraction may therefore have high potential for craving interventions (Florsheim et al, 2008;Skorka-Brown et al, 2014;van Dillen and Andrade, 2016).…”
