Impulse control is "self-reinforcing," Aber said. Those who learn to practice it when they are younger get better at it as adults. But, as the recent sex scandals illustrate, adult behavior can be "virtuous or vicious."

"If I could answer the question why some adults are like that and others aren't, the world would be a better place and I would be richer," Aber said.
