You can't always think what you want: Problems in the suppression of unwanted thoughts von Daniel M. Wegner
Beispieltext:
A. CIRCUMSTANCES OF SUPPRESSION
• Thought suppression is provoked when the person's situation prompts the
inhibition of some external expression of a thought. NormaIly, the external
expressions people attempt to' forestall in this way take the form of actions,
communications, or emotional expressions. In each case, thought suppression is
attempted as a preemptive strategy aimed at inhibition of the overt psychological
consequences of the thought.
1. Action Inhibition
Thought suppression is used for behavioral-self-control. When people are
dieting (Polivy & Herman, 1985) or trying to abstain from addictiv.e substances
(Marlatt & Parks, 1982), for example, they may attempt thought suppression in
these efforts. People suffering from unwanted compulsive actions report using
thought suppression as a prophylaxis as weIl (Rachman & de Silva, 1978;
Rachman & Hodgson, 1980). Although thought suppression might be of little use
for avoiding involuntary acts such as sneezing or being startled, it could often be
useful as a strategy for the inhibition of voluntary actions.
The most well-developed research program on the inhibition of unwanted
action is the work on delay of gratification by Misehel (see MischeI, Shoda, &
Rodriguez, 1989). These studies indicate in general that the self-control ofbehav-
ior-in particular, foregoing a small immediate reward for a larger delayed
reward-is strongly influenced by the person 's thinking. The relationship be-
tween thinking and self-control is not always simple. Directing people to think
