1The process model of self-control posits motivation, emotion, and attention as psychological 2 mediators in the relationship between cognitive and physical self-control. However, this model 3 has never been tested in a sport context. Participants (N = 69) completed two isometric biceps 4 endurance trials (physical self-control task; T1 and T2), separated by a 6-min cognitive 5 manipulation of self-control. Motivation and emotion were assessed prior to the respective 6 biceps task, and attention was assessed in terms of gaze behavior on task relevant in comparison 7 to task irrelevant stimuli during the biceps task (T1 and T2). To test the hypothesis that 8 motivation, emotion, and attention mediated the relationship between cognitive and physical 9 self-control, a parallel multiple mediator model was calculated. The results indicate that 10 motivation, emotion, and attention (relative change between T1 and T2) did not mediate the 11 relationship between cognitive and physical self-control (b = -0.01, 95% BCa CI [-0.06, 0.03]) 12 and that the exertion of cognitive self-control did not necessarily lead to impaired performance. 13Future studies should investigate the role of task demands and other potential mediators of self-14 control (e.g., belief about a limited willpower). 15
