Temptation is a fundamental desire to engage in short-term urges for enjoyment, that threatens long-term goals.〔Webb, J.R. (Sep 2014). Incorporating Spirtuality into Psychology of temptation: Conceptualization, measurement, and clinical implications. Spirtuality in Clinical Practice. 1.3. PP: 231-241〕 In the context of some religions, temptation is the inclination to sin. Temptation also describes the coaxing or inducing a person into committing such an act, by manipulation or otherwise of curiosity, desire or fear of loss. In the context of self-control and ego depletion, temptation is described as an immediate, pleasurable urge and/or impulse that disrupts an individuals ability to wait for the long-term goals, in which that individual hopes to attain.〔Webb, J.R. (Sep 2014). Incorporating Spirtuality into Psychology of temptation: Conceptualization, measurement, and clinical implications. Spirtuality in Clinical Practice. 1.3. PP: 231-241〕 More informally, temptation may be used to mean "the state of being attracted and enticed" without anything to do with moral, ethical, or ideological valuation; for example, one may say that a piece of food looks "tempting" even though eating it would result in no negative consequences. Research suggests that there are paradoxical effects associated with temptation.〔Webb, J.R. (Sep 2014). Incorporating Spirtuality into Psychology of temptation: Conceptualization, measurement, and clinical implications. Spirtuality in Clinical Practice. 1.3. PP: 231-241〕 Including all the forms temptations can present themselves there is a set of options that may facilitate high moral standards in decision making. * Weak or subtle temptations in comparison to strong or obvious temptations leads to less self-control. * supported research states that "available temptations are less valuable and less tempting".〔Webb, J.R. (Sep 2014). Incorporating Spirtuality into Psychology of temptation: Conceptualization, measurement, and clinical implications. Spirtuality in Clinical Practice. 1.3. PP: 231-241〕 Temptations can have effects on long-term goal attainment, it has been found that individuals who experienced temptation and the effects of it found there were benefits to their experiences.〔Webb, J.R. (Sep 2014). Incorporating Spirtuality into Psychology of temptation: Conceptualization, measurement, and clinical implications. Spirtuality in Clinical Practice. 1.3. PP: 231-241〕 ==Religious usage== A research article was written by Vanchai Ariyabuddhiphongs, a professor at Bangkok University, about the motivational and persuasive negative effects of such temptations such as money, that can push one to disregard religious beliefs whether it be Buddhism, Christianity etc.. He says that when given an opportunity at a large amount of money we have a greater chance of harming, stealing, partaking in sexual misconduct, or abusing substances. This idea of money as a negative persuasion tactic in regards to the religions mentioned above, is psychologically proven to affect our cognitive ability to make decisions. Vanchai's article talked solely on Buddhist practices but it is believed that it could be broadened to all beliefs. Our religious beliefs may define who we are as spiritual people, but this article described how an outside source can push those thoughts away and look to benefit us in a way that may include disregarding religion. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「temptation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
