| Abstract: | The present study aimed to examine the associations between self-efficacy, connectedness and self-control to better understand whether connectedness may support impulse regulation. It was hypothesized that high values of self-efficacy and high levels of connectedness would result in higher levels of self-control. A cross-sectional quantitative study design was employed using data from an international sample of 122 participants (68% female, 82% German) with a mean age of 27.3 years (SD = 10.9). The sample was predominantly highly educated. Respondents completed self-report questionnaires measuring self-efficacy, connectedness and self-control. Multiple linear regression was performed to test whether connectedness moderated the relationship between self-efficacy and self-control. Results showed that while self-efficacy was significantly correlated with self-control (b = .38, p = < .01), the interaction between self-efficacy and connectedness was insignificant (b = .002, p = .82). Future research should consider measuring domains such as committed action and values to further expound how connectedness may support self-control. |
