TL;DR: The authors suggest that the purpose of human conscious thought is participation in social and cultural groups, and that logical reasoning depends on conscious thought, which meshes well with the argument theory of reasoning.

TL;DR: Transcendence, defined as the capacity to perceive the immediate stimulus environment in relation to long-range or abstract concerns, is a key aspect of self-control, and indeed self-regulation often breaks down because attention becomes focused exclusively on the immediate stimuli (i.e., transcendence fails).

TL;DR: Wicklund and Eckert as discussed by the authors reviewed the book, The Self-Knower: A Hero Under Control by Robert A. Wicklund and Martina Eckert (1992).

TL;DR: Any evolved disposition for fairness and cooperation would not replace but merely compete with selfish and other antisocial impulses, so it is proposed that human cooperation and fairness depend on self-regulation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether a person with high self-control is preferred as a partner for all or only certain social situations, perceived as less likeable than a persons with low self control, liked more if the person is female and the behavior thus fits the sex-stereotype, and perceived differently from a persons who have low selfcontrol with respect to a wide range of adjectives used to describe personality.
