Temptation, by William-Adolphe Bouguereau.

Temptation is the desire to perform an action that one may enjoy immediately or in the short term but will probably later regret for various reasons: legal, social, psychological (including feeling guilt), health-related, economic, etc. In the context of religion, temptation is the inclination to sin. Temptation also describes the coaxing or inducing a person into committing such an act, by manipulation or otherwise of curiosity, desire or fear of loss.

More informally, temptation may be used to mean "the state of being attracted and enticed" without anything to do with moral, ethical, or ideological valuation; for example, one may say that a piece of food looks "tempting" even though eating it would result in no negative consequences.

Religious usage[edit]

Temptation has implications deeply rooted in Judaism and the The Old Testament, starting with the story of Eve and the original sin. Many non-Western cultures had no precise equivalent until coming into contact with Europeans.^{[citation needed]} For example, Jesuit missionaries in Brazil, translating the Lord's Prayer into Old Tupi, had to use the Portuguese word tentação, since Tupi had no word expressing "temptation" in that sense (see Old Tupi language#Sample text).^{[citation needed]}

In the text of the Lord's Prayer, the King James Version uses "temptation" to translate the Greek word πειρασμός peirasmos.^[1] This word has nothing to do with "temptation" with moral-ethical or spiritual-eschatological overtones. It is simply "being put to test", referring to a situation in which a person is challenged to keep the name of God honored (a reprise of the text in Matthew 6:9).^{[citation needed]}

Non-religious usage[edit]

Temptation is usually used in a loose sense to describe actions which indicate a lack of self control. Temptation is a common recurring theme in world literature. Temptation has repercussions for even the strongest.^{[citation needed]} "Temptation" is something that allures, excites, and seduces someone. Infatuation can also lead to temptation as someone might do something for love in spite of one's better judgement.

In advertising, "temptation" is a theme common to many of the marketing and advertising techniques used to make products more attractive.

Facing temptation in the bar: counteracting the effects of self-control failure on young adults' ad libitum alcohol intake.

Otten R1, Cladder-Micus MB, Pouwels JL, Hennig M, Schuurmans AA, Hermans RC.Author information 1Behavioural Science Institute, Radboud University Nijmegen, Nijmegen, the Netherlands.AbstractBACKGROUND AND AIMS: The self-control strength model suggests that exertion of self-control leads to poorer subsequent self-control performance. Failure of self-control has been suggested as an important underlying mechanism of excessive drinking. This study tested the effects of self-control failure on ad libitum drinking, and the potential moderating role of glucose and self-awareness on this relationship.

Cognition and craving during smoking cessation: an ecological momentary assessment study.

Waters AJ1, Szeto EH, Wetter DW, Cinciripini PM, Robinson JD, Li Y.Author information 1Department of Medical and Clinical Psychology, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, MD;AbstractINTRODUCTION: Some studies using ecological momentary assessment (EMA) have revealed an association between craving for cigarettes and relapse. It is therefore important to understand the correlates of craving during smoking cessation. Attentional bias to smoking cues is a potential correlate of craving, but it has not previously been assessed using EMA during smoking cessation.

Typical or atypical pneumonia and severe acute respiratory symptoms in PICU.

Hon KL1, Leung A, Cheung KL, Fu A, Chu WC, Chan P.Author information 1Departments of Paediatrics, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Prince of Wales Hospital, Shatin, Hong Kong.AbstractMycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) is a common childhood pathogen associated with atypical pneumonia (AP). AP caused by MP has been called "walking pneumonia" because it is often a mild disease and seldom results in pediatric intensive care (PICU) admission. In 2003, World Health Organization (WHO) coined the word SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) in patients with severe acute respiratory symptoms (sars) for an outbreak of AP in Hong Kong due to a novel coronavirus. In 2012, another outbreak of coronavirus AP occurred in the Middle-East. Confusing case definitions such as MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) and SARI (Severe Acute Respiratory Infections) were coined. In early 2013, an 11-year-old girl presented with sars, ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome), right-sided pneumonia and pleural effusion. She was treated with multiple antibiotics. Streptococcus pneumoniae was not isolated in this girl with "typical" pneumonia by symptomatology and chest radiography, but tracheal aspirate identified MP instead. The respiratory equations are computed with PaO2 /FiO2 consistent with severe lung injury. Literature on the incidence and mortality of severe AP with MP requiring PICU care is reviewed. We urge health organizations to refrain from the temptation of coining unnecessary new terminology to describe essentially the same conditions each and every time when outbreaks of AP occur.
