'''Action orientation''' is "a style of responding to dilemmas or conflicts that is characterized by swift, decisive action to achieve mental and behavioral change. Action orientation has been suggested as a key moderator of cognitive control under demanding conditions, such that action-oriented individuals are better able to exert control under high demands than are individuals with a state orientation."<ref>[https://dictionary.apa.org/action-orientation Action orientation], American Psychological Association</ref> (A state orientation is "a style of responding to dilemmas or conflicts that is characterized by prolonged analysis and assessment of alternatives rather than by swift, decisive action. The hesitation of state orientation thus leads to the perseveration of current mental and behavioral states."<ref>[https://dictionary.apa.org/state-orientation State orientation], American Psychological Association</ref>).
