Abstract

The present study investigated the effects of 'action/inaction' frame-fit on individuals' sequential self-regulation. We employed a situation where individuals engaged in two actions that require self-regulation in a sequential manner (i.e., playing a game, then working on an experimental task). We induced a frame-fit('action'-'action') or a frame-misfit ('inaction'-'action') using task instructions ("play the game for 5 min., then work on the task" vs. "stop the game after 5 min., then work on the task"). A total of 31 college students were randomly assigned to the two conditions of the experiment. Results indicated that male participants regulated the amount of time spent on the game more effectively in the frame-fit condition than in the frame-misfit condition. No significant effects were observed among female participants. Implications and limitations of this finding along with future research direction are discussed.
