Carrying on or giving in : processes of self-control and ego depletion

Year: 2007

Type: dissertation

Abstract: The research presented in the present chapter aimed to investigate the relationship between self-control related expectancies and self-control abilities.By means of three questionnaire studies it was investigated whether the extent to which people expect self-control to be dependent on limited energy relates to their self-reported self-control abilities.Results show that when people are more inclined to expect self-control to be dependent on limited energy, they report relatively worse self-control abilities.
