Recently, my students and I have been exploring the factors that lead individuals to lose and re-gain contact with their authentic values. We have found, for example, that engaging in self-control in one task leads individuals to guide their behavior in a subsequent task using generic knowledge structures (e.g., stereotypes) rather than more idiosyncratic structures (personal attitudes). A wake-up call, on the other hand, such as contemplating one's mortality, leads individuals to guide their behavior on the basis of their personal attitudes rather than the generic ones.
