Self-control, risky lifestyles, and situation: The role of opportunity and context in the general theory

Predictive validity of self‐reported self‐control for different forms of recidivism

“…The other significant predictor for violent reoffending was Emotion Regulation 1 , which was in line with results reported by Baron et al (2007).…”

Anticipated shaming and criminal offending

“…Other studies have shown that once anticipated shame was accounted for, the effect of low selfcontrol was either weakened (Grasmick & Bursik, 1990;Tibbetts & Herz, 1996;Tibbetts, 1997) or completely disappeared (Tibbetts & Myers, 1999). The present study builds on such research, but accomplishes another goal stated by Baron et al (2007) in the sense that it integrates additional decision-making theories-namely differential association, strain, and deterrence-into a more general model of criminal offending.…”

“…It is our position that anticipated shaming is likely to be one of these situational, decision-making factors that Baron et al (2007) predict mediate the effects of self-control, yet researchers have not fully explored this possibility. Preliminary research, however, suggests reason to suspect that our assertion may have some utility.…”

Assessing the Overlap in Dating Violence Perpetration and Victimization among South Korean College Students: The Influence of Social Learning and Self-Control

“…Self-control theory was originally developed to explain the relationship between low self-control and offending, but more recently it has similarly been applied to victimization (Baron, Forde, & May, 2007;Holtfreter, Reisig, & Pratt, 2008;Piquero, MacDonald, Dobrin, Daigle, & Cullen, 2005;Schreck, Stewart, & Fisher, 2006;Schreck et al, 2002), and consequently may be used to examine the overlap between victimization and perpetration. Gover et al (2008) found that male and female respondents with low self-control were more likely to perpetrate and be victimized by physical relationship violence.…”
