It seems unlikely that one could form adaptive SIP patterns if one cannot purposely focus on or shift attention to what is important in one's social world (particularly others' needs and feelings); inhibit

The antisaccade condition, however, requires the inhibition of a
prepotent response and thus requires a degree of attention control not apparent in the relatively automatic prosaccades.
First, some of these increased private behaviors may be seen as forms of adjunctive behavior (Cantor & Wilson, 1984; Falk, 1971), evoked by secondary stimuli that become

This was confirmed in the study by the fact that participants took longer to react to legal rather than moral situations, which "resembles the overcoming of a

Goal setting is one of the

On the need to "repress the boldness and the power of all
