Definition of Self-Control

Self-control is the ability to regulate one's emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in the face of temptations and impulses. It involves exercising restraint over one's immediate desires to achieve long-term goals, often described as willpower or self-discipline.

Measuring Self-Control

Self-control can be measured through various methods:

Self-report questionnaires: Tools like the Self-Control Scale assess individuals' perceptions of their self-control abilities.

Behavioral tasks: Experiments, such as the Marshmallow Test, evaluate impulse control by offering choices between immediate rewards and delayed gratification.

Observation: Researchers can observe behaviors in real-life situations to assess self-control in various contexts.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
