Abstract: The present dissertation demonstrated in seven studies that fear consumes the limited self-control resource. Participants in the fear-inducing condition reported lower state self-control, achieved lower scores on an implicit association test, and performed worse on subsequent self-control tasks such as the handrip task, the anagram task, and the working memory capacity task compared with the control group participants. These findings support the compensatory model of motivation and volition and the theories on the limited self-control resource.
