(2016): Self-Regulation and Power. How Self-Regulatory Failures Can Enhance Social Power. In: Social and Personality Psychology Compass 10 (1), S. 41-49. DOI: 10.1111/spc3.12228
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1111/spc3.12228 Abstract: Low self‐control is often associated with poor life outcomes. Here, we propose that self‐control failures may also provide social benefits by signaling and maintaining power. We identify several pathways by which reduced self‐control can assist in ascending social hierarchies. First, the self‐enhancing tendencies adopted by people with low self‐control may contribute to making positive first impressions and advertising power to new acquaintances. The direct and disinhibited communication styles that stem from self‐control failures may also enhance power and lubricate difficult social interactions. Disinhibited aggression can help people maintain and acquire material resources and establish dominance over rivals. Finally, the parallels between the behavior of people with low self‐control and people with power (e.g., self‐enhancement, disinhibition, approach‐orientation, aggression) suggest that people with impaired self‐control will be perceived as more powerfu l than people with intact self‐control. Evidence for these propositions and directions for future research are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

(2011): Does the measurement of peer deviance change the relationship between self-control and deviant behavior?. An analysis of friendship pairs. In: Journal of Criminal Justice 39 (6), S. 521-530. DOI: 10.1016/j.jcrimjus.2011.10.001
Abstract: Purpose: The measurement debate between social learning and self-control theories has predominantly focused on self-control, leaving an unexplored and equally important measurement controversy concerning the operationalization of the peer delinquency construct. This study addresses how self-control's relationship with deviant and criminal behavior changes when peer deviance is statistically controlled for using an indirect, perceptual measure or a self-report directly from a peer. Methods: Data from 796 friendship pairs are used to estimate a series of regression models that regress respondent deviance onto indirect and direct peer deviance and attitudinal and behavioral self-control measures while controlling for elements of the social bond and demographic characteristics. Results: When an indirect measure of peer delinquency is replaced with a direct measure from respondents’ friends, the relationships between self-control—attitudinal and behavioral measures—and deviance and criminal behavior are consistently larger. The use of a direct peer deviance measure does not prove the peer deviance-crime relationship spurious, but does substantially weaken the relationship between self-control and deviance and criminal behavior. Conclusions: The strength of the relationship between self-control and deviant/criminal behavior is contingent on how peer deviance is operationalized, regardless of how self-control is measured (attitudinally or behaviorally).

(2007): Violence restrained. Effects of self-regulation and its depletion on aggression. In: Journal of Experimental Social Psychology 43 (1), S. 62-76. DOI: 10.1016/j.jesp.2005.12.005
Abstract: Aggressive impulses arise from many factors, but they are usually held in check by social norms for self-control. Thus, the proximal cause of aggression is often failure of self-restraint. In five studies, depleted capacity for self-regulation (caused by prior, even irrelevant acts of self-regulation) increased aggressive responding, especially after an insulting provocation. When participants were insulted and their self-regulatory strength was depleted (i.e., after completing previous tasks that required self-regulation), participants were more likely to aggress. When the urge to aggress was relatively weaker (i.e., when participants were not insulted), self-regulatory depletion did not increase aggressive behavior. This effect was moderated by trait self-control: Participants low in trait self-control were particularly likely to express intentions of behaving aggressively in response to provocation, whereas participants high in trait self-control did not express intentions of responding aggressively. Laboratory, autobiographical memory, and hypothetical responses confirmed the pattern. zitiert von 723

(1995): Soziale Kontrolle ohne Kontrolleure? Veränderungstendenzen der Formen und des Konzepts sozialer Kontrolle. In: Soziale Probleme 6 (1), S. 3-23. Online verfügbar unter https://www.ssoar.info/ssoar/bitstream/document/24741/1/ssoar-soziprobleme-1995-1-franz-soziale_kontrolle_ohne_kontrolleure.pdf
Abstract: 'Nachdem das Konzept der sozialen Kontrolle lange Zeit im Rahmen der Soziologie abweichenden Verhaltens eine wichtige Rolle gespielt hat, erlangt es in Zusammenhang mit der Diskussion gesellschaftlicher Individualisierungsprozesse neue Aktualität für allgemeine soziologische Theorien. Nach einer kurzen Darstellung der 'Karriere' des Konzeptes der sozialen Kontrolle untersuchen wir den postulierten Formenwandel sozialer Kontrollmodi im Zuge der Individualisierungsprozesse und die Frage, ob sich durch einen etwaigen Trend von Fremd- zur Selbstkontrolle Kontrollinstanzen immer mehr verflüchtigen und Prozesse sozialer Kontrolle neue Gestalt annehmen. Verschiedene Varianten der Individualisierungstheorie werden unter diesem Gesichtspunkt verglichen und die Frage nach den sich daraus ergebenden Trends sozialer Kontrolle gestellt.'
