This study investigated the effects of temporal distance of future regulatory behavior, goal progress framing, and self-control on immediate indulgent behavior. The results showed that people with high self-control showed higher indulgence in near future condition versus far future condition when they adopted accumulated(to-date) progress framing. Conversely, when people with high self-control adopted remaining(to-go) progress framing, future regulatory behavior in far future versus near future increased indulgence, but this difference was not statistically significant. In the case of people with low self-control, temporal distance and goal progress framing did not yield any effects on immediate indulgence. The results contribute to the literature on indulgence, temporal distance, and self-control in several ways. First, we have expanded existing researches by finding the moderating factors for the effects of temporal distance of future self-regulatory on indulgence. Second, we have revealed the context in which individuals with high self-control do not hold back indulgence. Third, this study has expanded literature on indulgence by approaching indulgent consumption with the theoretical view of self-regulation, as a dynamic process of managing self-regulatory goal, as well as justification.
