Current research is dedicated to the topic of undesirable behavior and attempts to study the factors (incl. executive functions) that contribute to long-term self-control of this type of behavior. Results show no significant effects but we conclude the existence of statistic trends towards prediction of long-term self-control efficiency based on several self-regulation characteristics of an individual that we measured (functioning level of working memory and "Programming" scale of Morosanova's self-regulation style questionnaire). Additionally, the research proposes possible trajectories for further investigation into undesirable behavior, its control, and, more generally, a topic of long-term self-control.
