Congrats Niclas!!!
Comparing the most important predictors indicated meaningful differences between the components and types. One example: impulsive tendencies predicted greater success in initiation conflicts, suggesting that a certain "just do it" attitude could be helpful for this conflict type

Trait items indexed all components to some extent, but most strongly successful conflict resolution (as expected).
No trait items reliably predicted inhibition conflicts, which is surprising given that many trait scales were developed precisely for this conflict type.

Most trait scales were developed based on much narrower definitions. So: which parts of these broader conceptualizations do they actually capture?
We applied machine learning techniques to experience-sampling data, linking 169 trait items of self-control to these components and types in daily life.

Broader conceptualizations of self-control distinguish between:
• Components: frequency, intensity, and successful resolution of self-control conflicts
• Types of conflicts: initiating goal-directed behavior, persisting in that behavior, and inhibiting goal-inconsistent behavior
• Components: frequency, intensity, and successful resolution of self-control conflicts
• Types of conflicts: initiating goal-directed behavior, persisting in that behavior, and inhibiting goal-inconsistent behavior
