Abstract
This chapter focuses on those events or situations in which individuals need to make concerted efforts to remain attentive or focused on certain tasks or activities. Activities such as driving and other diverse kinds of professional tasks require specific attention from individuals without any distractions. Depending on the activities, individuals engaged in tasks requiring efforts or complete attention can urge complete focus on such efforts without getting distracted by attention-grabbing incidents. These attention control efforts can also have significant psychological impact on the individuals engaged in tasks requiring effortful attention. While the authors argue that attention control temporarily reduces the ability of self-control, attention control is also considered to be an important form of self-control as it contributes to regulate other attention controlling efforts.
