Abstract: Choice, active response, self-regulation, and other volition may all draw on a common inner resource. In Experiment 1, people who forced themselves to eat radishes instead of tempting chocolates subsequently quit faster on unsolvable puzzles than people who had not had to exert self-control over eating. In Experiment 2, making a meaningful personal choice to perform attitude-relevant behavior caused a similar decrement in persistence. In Experiment 3, suppressing emotion led to a subsequent drop in performance… Show more

“…Also the direction of any association between the perception of interoceptive signals and self-regulatory processes remains unclear. Future studies could expand the assessment of self-regulatory capacity by including self-report measures and experimental self-regulation tasks such as an exposure to temptation or an anagram task (62,70).…”

“…These tasks were matched for difficulty and appearance, differing most substantially in their reliance on either verbal or spatial working memory processes (Gray, 2001). Borrowing logic from the finding that depletion of resources in one task domain can carry over and impact performance on another task (e.g., Baumeister, Bratslavsky, Muraven, & Tice, 1998), if stereotype threat selectively impinges on verbal processing resources (e.g., via worries about the situation and its consequences) and this working memory consumption does not immediately subside when performance on the stereotyped task is finished, then individuals should perform poorer on a verbal (relative to a spatial) two-back task following stereotype threat. In essence, stereotype threat may "spill over" onto other tasks that use the same processing resources but that are not implicated by the negative stereotype.…”

“…It is unknown whether these effects still occur for individuals who have strong cravings for foods that are high in saturated fat (or for addictive behaviours). In addition, exerting self-control in relation to one"s food consumption might have negative consequences for other behaviours that require self-control (such as avoiding smoking) as self-control can be viewed as a limited resource (Baumeister, Bratlavsky, Muraven & Tice, 1998). Finally, the study was powered to detect significant effects rather than to make strong conclusions regarding null effects.…”
