Self regulation failure is the major social pathology of the present time. All over the country people are miserable because they cannot control their money, their weight, their emotions, their drinking, their hostility, their craving for drugs, their spending, their own behavior vis-a-vis their family members, their sexual impulses, and more. Self regulation failure is central to many of the problems that are widely discussed and bemoaned as allegedly hastening the decline and doom of America. In this book we plan to survey the research literature in several major domains where self regulation failure has been studied. The main body of the book, therefore, is organized by phenomenon rather than by conceptual progress, task performance, self-management, mental processes, emotions, eating, drinking alcohol, gambling, smoking, shopping, and aggressive behavior.
