This article describes a 2-systems model that explains social behavior as a joint function of reflective and impulsive processes. In particular, it is assumed that social behavior is controlled by 2 interacting systems that follow different operating principles. The reflective system generates behavioral decisions that are based on knowledge about facts and values, whereas the impulsive system elicits behavior through associative links and motivational orientations. The proposed model describes…

Impulsive versus reflective influences on health behavior: a theoretical framework and empirical review
Abstract Often, health behavior seems to be governed not only by reasoned attitudes and goal-directed behavior but also by impulsive influences. The notion of a conflict between reflective and…
Affective Determinants of Health Behavior
This chapter discusses dual-process models of (health) behaviors, regarding both their recent criticisms and implications for health interventions. It agrees with critics that impulsive and…
Animal Spirits: Affective and Deliberative Processes in Economic Behavior
The economic conception of human behavior assumes that a person has a single set of well-defined goals, and that the person's behavior is chosen to best achieve those goals. We develop a model in…
TARGET ARTICLE: Duality Models in Social Psychology: From Dual Processes to Interacting Systems
Dual-system models explain social cognition and behavior as a joint function of 2 interconnected mental faculties, each operating according to different principles. In this article, we use the…
Reflection and Impulse as Determinants of Human Behavior
The authors posit the Reflective-Impulsive Model (RIM, Strack F, Deutsch, R Personal Soc Psychol Rev 8: 220–247, 2004) to explain the apparent duality of actions planned by reflective, deliberate…
Impulsivity, Impulsive and Reflective Processes and the Development of Alcohol Use and Misuse in Adolescents and Young Adults
TLDR
It is hypothesized that trait impulsivity can predict specific risky behaviors, but that its predictive power disappears once specific behavior-related associations, indicators of executive functioning, and their interaction are entered into the equation.
Impulse and Self-Control From a Dual-Systems Perspective
TLDR
A dual-systems perspective of impulse and self-control is outlined and a framework for the prediction of self- control outcomes is suggested that combines three elements that may enable a more precise prediction ofSelf-control outcomes than they do when studied in isolation.
The self-regulation of automatic associations and behavioral impulses.
TLDR
The Quadruple process model is a multinomial model that provides quantitative estimates of 4 distinct processes in a single task that offers insights into many central questions surrounding the operation and the interaction of automatic and controlled processes.
Reflective and Impulsive Determinants of Consumer Behavior
This article describes a dual-system model of consumer behavior. This model is based on the assumption that all human behaviors are a joint function of reflective and impulsive mechanisms. Those…

Implicit measures in social cognition. research: their meaning and use.
TLDR
This work reviews research that has utilized implicit measures across several domains, including attitudes, self-esteem, and stereotypes, and discusses their predictive validity, their interrelations, and the mechanisms presumably underlying their operation.
Beyond behaviorism: on the automaticity of higher mental processes.
TLDR
The authors consider the common philosophical commitment to determinism by both schools of thought, and how the radical behaviorists' thesis of the determined nature of higher mental processes is being pursued today in social cognition research on automaticity.
A unified theory of implicit attitudes, stereotypes, self-esteem, and self-concept.
TLDR
The balanced identity design is introduced as a method to test correlational predictions of the theory and revealed that predicted consistency patterns were strongly apparent in the data for implicit (IAT) measures but not in those for parallel explicit (self-report) measures.
