| Abstract: | People often feel torn between what they want to do and what they think they believe they should do. As a result, they experience intrapersonal conflict. Following Loewenstein's (1996) temporal perspective to understanding internal conflict and inconsistency, the authors offer three studies that empirically demonstrate: 1) a distinction between the want self and the should self, 2) that behavior is more closely linked to the want self, 3) that the want self is the self that is temporally inconsistent, and 4) that adopting a want versus should perspective can have a significant impact on actual behavior. |
