Abstract
Regarding Rachlin's behavioral act/pattern theory of self-control, it is argued that some cases of self-control involve pattern/pattern conf licts rather than merely act/pattern conflicts and that - if all cases of self-control are to be accounted for - some patterns must be viewe d as internal representational states of mind (plans) rather than mere ly as patterns of actual overt behavior.
