TL;DR: Testing the dimensionality of Type-D personality, using taxometric procedures, indicates that Type D is more accurately represented as a dimensional rather than categorical construct.
Journal ArticleDOI
A bidirectional relationship between executive function and health behavior : evidence, implications, and future directions
TL;DR: It is argued that a positive feedback loop may exist whereby health behavior-induced changes in executive function foster subsequent health-enhancing behaviors, which in turn help sustain efficient executive functions and good health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Missed by an inch or a mile? Predicting the size of intention-behaviour gap from measures of executive control.
TL;DR: Intention–behaviour ‘failures’ are not homogenous, but instead vary predictably with the availability of executive control resources, which suggests that individuals with large intention-behaviour shortfalls may benefit from interventions designed to reduce the demands on executive control.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Spontaneously generated action plans about snacking explained significantly more variance in subsequent snacking if produced by a skilled rather than a poor planner, suggesting planning interventions can compensate for a lack of planning skill.
