Psychologists typically define self-control as:2

The ability to control behaviors to avoid temptations and achieve goals
The ability to delay gratification and resist unwanted behaviors or urges
A limited resource that can be depleted
People use various terms for self-control, including discipline, determination, grit, willpower, and fortitude. Some researchers believe that self-control is partly determined by genetics,3 but it is also a skill you can strengthen with practice.
