Self-Control in Animals and People takes an interdisciplinary look
at what self-control is, how it works, and whether humans are alone
as a species in their ability to demonstrate self-control. The book
outlines historical and recent empirical approaches to
understanding when self-control succeeds and fails, and which
species may share with humans the ability to anticipate better
future outcomes. It also provides readers with in-depth
explorations of whether various species can delay gratification,
the ways in which people and animals exhibit other forms of
self-control, what influences the capacity and expression of
self-control, and much more. In addition to its comprehensive
coverage of self-control research, the book also describes
self-control assessment tests that can be used with young children,
adults, and a wide variety of nonhuman species, with the goal of
making fair and clear comparisons among the groups. This
combination makes Self-Control in Animals and People a valuable
resource for cognitive, developmental, and clinical psychologists,
philosophers, academic students and researchers in psychology and
the social sciences, and animal behaviorists.
