Automatic processes are efficient and rigid, whereas controlled ones are costly and flexible. Probably most of the behaviors occur in an automatic fashion with minimal active participation by the self. This means that most of our behaviors are caused by something we cannot control. A very important minority of behavior involves having the person override these simple responses and effortfully implementing a different response (Bargh, Chen & Burrows, 1996). An individual exerts these controlled responses rather than allowing them become automatic processes
