A self-control/life-course theory of criminal behavior (2016, background): “And the fluidity of self-control can be measured directly in longitudinal studies (Hay and Forrest, 2006) and in experimental studies of self-control depletion”
Déjà vu All Over Again: Investigating Temporal Continuity of Adolescent Victimization (2008, methodology): “Although theory often portrays the trait of self-control as time-stable, recent research suggests that it may vary across time (e.g., Burt et al. 2006; Hay and Forrest 2006).”
Genetic influences on the stability of low self-control: Results from a longitudinal sample of twins (2008, result): “First, and in line with prior research, the stability of low selfcontrol during adolescence was estimated (Arneklev, Cochran, & Gainey, 1998; Beaver & Wright, 2007; Burt, Simons, & Simons, 2006; Hay & Forrest, 2006; Mitchell & MacKenzie, 2006; Turner & Piquero, 2002; Winfree, Taylor, He, & Esbense”
Self-Control, Intimate Partner Abuse, and Intimate Partner Victimization: Testing the General Theory of Crime in Thailand (2008, background): “1997 ; Hay and Forrest 2006 ; Sampson and Laub 1993 ), and the applicability of the theory to certain types of crime such as white-collar crime (Benson and Moore 1992 ; Van Wyk, Benson, and Harris 2000 ) and intimate partner violence (Belknap 2007 ; Miller and Burack 1993 ).”
Self-Control Interventions for Children Under Age 10 for Improving Self-Control and Delinquency and Problem Behaviors: A Systematic Review (2010, background): “…within persons (once established by ages 10/12) and that it tends to change (increase) with age (Arneklev et al., 1998; Turner & Piquero, 2002; Hay & Forrest, 2006; Mitchell & MacKenzie, 2006; Winfree et al., 2006), but remains relatively impervious to alterations by the criminal justice…”
On the Malleability of Self‐Control: Theoretical and Policy Implications Regarding a General Theory of Crime (2010, background): “…stable within persons (once established by ages 10/12) and that it tends to change (increase) with age (Arneklev, Cochran, & Gainey, 1998; Hay & Forrest, 2006; Mitchell & MacKenzie, 2006; Turner & Piquero, 2002; Winfree, Taylor, He, & Esbensen, 2006), but remains relatively impervious to…”
Exploring the Link Between Low Self-Control and Violent Victimization Trajectories in Adolescents (2009, result): “Thus, we see these results as supporting the view of the relative stability of selfcontrol and being consistent with the findings from previous research (Arneklev et al., 1998; Beaver & Wright, 2007; Hay & Forrest, 2006; Winfree et al., 2006) and Gottfredson and Hirschi’s (1990) assumptions.”
It's time: A meta-analysis on the self-control-deviance link (2017, neutral): “Other studies have found evidence to the contrary (Burt, Simons, & Simons, 2006; Burt, Sweeten, & Simons, 2014; Hay & Forrest, 2006; Ray, Jones, Thomas, & Jennings, 2013).”
Statistical Models of Life Events and Criminal Behavior (2010, result): “Thus, this approach would not control for effects of changes in self control, if self control varied meaningfully over time, contrary to Gottfredson and Hirschi’s claim ( Hay and Forrest, 2006 ).”
