The competition between cold/hot and control/impulsive systems influences the behavioral consequences of selfcontrol. Its mental process consists of two stages: conflict identification and conflict resolution, and mistakes at any stage could lead to the failure of selfcontrol. Selfregulatory resources and motivation play important roles in the process.

Key words: selfcontrol; selfregulation; ego depletion
