“…Others suggest that prior exertion impacts people's motivation or willingness to exert self‐control, rather than their ability (Inzlicht, Schmeichel, & Macrae, ; Muraven, Shmueli, & Burkley, ). Still, others argue that the depletion effect occurs simply because people believe their self‐control is limited and exhaustible (Job, Bernecker, Miketta, & Friese, ; Job, Dweck, & Walton, ). So although the current evidence suggests that self‐control exertion produces a small but significant impairment on subsequent performance, more studies are needed to determine the robustness of this effect, its boundary conditions, and its underlying mechanisms.…”
