An author stated, “Heuristic strategies are more likely to achieve a preferred behavior than self-control in a social environment because they are ingrained cognitive processes that do not rely on motivation or self-will” What is a specific example of this for better understanding of its meaning?

This author cited a study from 1998 before all the current social media and stated, “Weiner’s (1988) seminal work focuses on achievement domain of behavior to understand causal rules linked to affective reactions and attributional reasoning of perceptions, emotions, and behavior. The subtle cues of verbal and visual devices stir judgment processes to help people understand and explain the behavior of media characters and people then have causal interpretations”. What examples would be appropriate to explain this today?
