The individual and joint performance of economic preferences, personality, and self-control in predicting criminal behavior
Friehe, Tim; Schildberg-Hörisch, Hannah - 2014
We explore the individual and joint explanatory power of concepts from economics, psychology, and criminology for criminal behavior. More precisely, we consider risk and time preferences, personality traits from psychology (Big Five and locus of control), and a self-control scale from...

Sophistication about self-control
Cobb-Clark, Deborah A.; Dahmann, Sarah Christina; … - 2021
We propose a broadly applicable empirical approach to classify individuals as time-consistent versus naïve or sophisticated regarding their self-control limitations. Operationalizing our approach based on nationally representative data reveals that self-control problems are pervasive and that...
