“…Self-esteem was associated with positive things, including the habit of reducing one cigarette at a time each day. According to research by [36] if smoking behavior was high, it was likely that his self-esteem was low. So, it was recommended to further increase self-esteem according to the results of this study, selfesteem was classified as moderate.…”

Smoke and a collection of components in cigarettes can cause very serious diseases. More precisely can disrupt health and its impact on individual health psychology. The purpose of this study is to explore how much the role of self-esteem and self-control of the smoking behavior of students in Yogyakarta. This study uses cross sectional studies with random sampling techniques. Respondents obtained were 75 students who were actively smoking cigarettes. The measuring instruments given include self-esteem scale, self-control scale and smoking behavior scale. The findings of this research explain that when students prioritize positive self -esteem then they tend to reduce or not smoke. In addition, self-control can limit the desire of students to reduce or stop smoking. Students who smoke at least do not do that in front of many people or avoid the crowd so as not to make other people tight or cough. There are still a number of other things that affect smoking behavior with cognitive, social, and cultural treatment. The nation's expectations and hopes that students would continue to be healthy, optimistic, and productive. Smoking research is very important to trace its clause so that it can help improve the health level of human life in the future.

“…Such a design cannot account for the variability in individuals’ behaviors, such as the possibility of inaction leading to not choosing any option. Moreover, perceived conflict between competing goals is a subject of intra- and inter-individual exchanges and should be studied accordingly (Wennerhold & Friese, 2023). Conducting longitudinal studies with multiple measurement points would allow us to capture the exact dynamics of the processes taking place in the pursuit of conflicting goals.…”

Grounded in the symbolic self-completion theory, the present research expands previous findings by testing the self-regulatory processes behind self-(in)completeness states. We hypothesized that the experience of incompleteness in the identity goal of being an eco-friendly vegan leads to refraining from temptations allowing us to realize a hedonic goal. The experience of completeness, in contrast, was expected to prompt succumbing to temptations. We examined these effects for multiple decisions on a number of temptations following sequentially. Study 1 demonstrated that eco-friendly vegans who experienced incompleteness were less likely to choose nonecological, attractive food products than vegans who experienced completeness and those who were in the control group. This effect was strongest for the first dish presented in a series of choices. In Study 2, we confirmed the findings of Study 1, showing that the effect was observed regardless of what dish was first presented. Additionally, we found that the effect of self-(in)completeness states held when controlling for relevant individual differences, that is, trait self-control and the pursuit of pleasure. We propose new avenues for research on self-completion theory in the contexts of self-regulation, temptations, and individual differences.

“…Last, we want to explore whether the associations between trait self-control, aspects of metacognition, and momentary selfregulatory success suggest a possible mediation with metacognition as the mediator between trait self-control and momentary self-regulatory success. These analyses could help to better anchor trait self-control in a nomological network, by explicating its relationship to different aspects of metacognition (see Wennerhold & Friese, 2023).…”

Metacognition is important for self-regulated learning and it has recently been argued that it may play an important role in self-control more generally. We studied multiple aspects of metacognition in self-control, namely metacognitive knowledge including a person´s repertoire (“toolbox”) of different self-regulatory strategies, metacognitive regulation (planning, monitoring, and evaluation), and polyregulation (using more self-regulatory strategies in a single self-control conflict) as predictors of people´s self-control success in daily life. In a preregistered experience sampling study, N = 503 participants reported their self-control conflicts up to eight times per day for 10 days, yielding 9,639 reports of daily self-control conflicts. Analyses showed that higher levels of metacognitive knowledge, planning, monitoring, evaluation, and polyregulation as well as a larger strategy repertoire were associated with higher levels of success in resolving daily self-control conflicts. Additionally, higher levels of trait self-control were associated with higher levels of metacognitive knowledge, planning, and monitoring. These findings highlight the importance of metacognition and polyregulation for successful self-control.
