“…Executive functioning deficits are also associated with "off-target verbosity" (i.e., talking excessively about topics irrelevant to the stream of conversation) among older adults [151]. Moreover, individual differences in inhibitory ability among young adults (i.e., Stroop performance) also predict social inappropriateness under socially challenging circumstances [152]. Taken together, recent research suggests a reliable association between EF and agreeableness that warrants further study.…”

“…After measuring blood glucose, we used the attention control task from Study 1 to create depletion. Following a second glucose measurement, participants completed the Stroop task, which is one of the most frequently used measures of self-control (e.g., von Hippel & Gonsalkorale, 2005). The Stroop task requires the participant to override an incipient response (i.e., to read aloud the name of the word) in order to say instead the color in which the word is printed, and in that sense it requires self-regulation.…”

The present work suggests that self-control relies on glucose as a limited energy source. Laboratory tests of self-control (i.e., the Stroop task, thought suppression, emotion regulation, attention control) and of social behaviors (i.e., helping behavior, coping with thoughts of death, stifling prejudice during an interracial interaction) showed that (a) acts of self-control reduced blood glucose levels, (b) low levels of blood glucose after an initial self-control task predicted poor performance on a subsequent self-control task, and (c) initial acts of self-control impaired performance on subsequent self-control tasks, but consuming a glucose drink eliminated these impairments. Self-control requires a certain amount of glucose to operate unimpaired. A single act of self-control causes glucose to drop below optimal levels, thereby impairing subsequent attempts at self-control.Keywords: self-regulation, glucose, attention, emotion regulation, prejudice Self-control (or self-regulation) is the ability to control or override one's thoughts, emotions, urges, and behavior. Self-control allows for the flexibility necessary for successful goal attainment, and it greatly facilitates adherence to morals, laws, social norms, and other rules and regulations. As such, it is one of the most important and beneficial processes in the human personality structure. A burgeoning body of evidence has linked good self-control to a broad range of desirable outcomes, including healthier interpersonal relationships, greater popularity, better mental health, more effective coping skills, reduced aggression, and superior academic performance, as well as less susceptibility to drug and alcohol abuse, criminality, and eating disorders (DeWall,

“…Participants completed a food preferences questionnaire and then viewed one ostensibly completed by their partner (matched for gender). On this sheet, two key pieces of information were given to participants: the partner was Chinese and his or her favorite food was chicken feet, a national delicacy of his or her home country, China (von Hippel and Gonsalkorale 2005).…”

When people's deeply ingrained need for social connection is thwarted by social exclusion, profound psychological consequences ensue. Despite the fact that social connections and consumption are central facets of daily life, little empirical attention has been devoted to understanding how belongingness threats impact consumer behavior. In four experiments, we tested the hypothesis that social exclusion causes people to spend and consume strategically in the service of affiliation. Relative to controls, excluded participants were more likely to buy a product symbolic of group membership (but not practical or self-gift items), tailor their spending preferences to the preferences of an interaction partner, spend money on an unappealing food item favored by a peer, and report being willing to try an illegal drug, but only when doing so boosted their chances of commencing social connections. Overall, results suggest that socially excluded people sacrifice personal and financial well-being for the sake of social well-being.
