Sample
Not applicable - a theoretical process model
Population
Not applicable.
Design
A theoretical review with no trial and no effect sizes. Retained precisely because of that - it is what the field's leading advocates offer in place of a randomised achievement trial, and recording the absence is part of the archive's job.
Key findings
Argues that situational strategies - situation selection and situation modification - outperform intrapsychic ones because they nip a tempting impulse in the bud. Contains no trial and no effect size. A companion paper by the same team frames the same model for school-age children.
Genetic confound
Not applicable.
Replication notes
Not applicable.
