40-second green roof views sustain attention: The role of micro-breaks in attention restoration (2015, neutral): “…(Schwartz & Kaplan, 2006; Warm, Parasuraman, & Matthews, 2008) for focusing on tasks (Lee, Gino, & Staats, 2014), blocking out distractions (Posner, 2011; Schwartz & Kaplan, 2006), and behaving positively towards others (Muraven & Baumeister, 2000; Podsakoff, Whiting, Podsakoff, & Blume, 2009).”
Parenting behaviour and adolescent behavioural and emotional problems: The role of self-control (2005, methodology): “…control processes that mostly function beyond people’s awareness (Eisenberg, Spinrad, & Morris, 2002), selfcontrol involves voluntary and conscious control of responses of the self that tend to be effortful (e.g., Muraven & Baumeister, 2000; for a discussion see also Kuhl & Koole, in press).”
Making the Break Count: An Episodic Examination of Recovery Activities, Emotional Experiences, and Positive Affective Displays (2008, background): “concept of regulatory resource depletion, or "ego" depletion, advanced by Muraven and Baumeister (2000). Those authors posited that people have a central and limited psychological resource that de termines their ability to regulate behavior at any given moment.”
Resisting Everything except Temptation: Evidence and an Explanation for Domain–specific Impulsivity (2012, background): “First, Baumeister and colleagues have shown in laboratory studies that factors determining self-controlled behaviour are, at least to some extent, domain general Baumeister, Bratslavsky, Muraven, & Tice, 1998; Baumeister et al., 2007; Muraven & Baumeister, 2000).”
“You Wouldn’t Like Me When I’m Sleepy”: Leaders’ Sleep, Daily Abusive Supervision, and Work Unit Engagement (2014, background): “According to this theory, all forms of self-regulation draw from a single, finite pool of resources (Baumeister, Bratslavsky, Muraven, & Tice, 1998; Muraven & Baumeister, 2000).”
Extraneous factors in judicial decisions (2011, background): “Prior research suggests that making repeated judgments or decisions depletes individuals’ executive function and mental resources (6), which can, in turn, influence their subsequent decisions.”
Building Character: Effects of Lay Theories of Self-Control on the Selection of Products for Children (2010, neutral): “One pertains to the quantum of self-control: the belief that people in general may have small amounts of self-control (in accordance with Muraven and Baumeister 2000) or large amounts (in accordance with much of Western philosophy; see Descartes [1649] 1996).”
Depression, loneliness and Internet addiction: How important is low self-control? (2014, background): “It has been suggested that compared to people with low self-control, those with higher self-control are less likely to be affected by stressful events (Muraven & Baumeister, 2000; Tangney et al., 2004) and are more tolerant of painful stimuli (Schmeichel & Zell, 2007).”
Be Fit and Be Strong: Mastering Self‐Regulation through Regulatory Fit (2008, background): “…task-related effects, which are induced by and directly linked to the focal task, carryover effects, such as those of ambient emotions that arise from incidental exposures or contextual factors like background music (Lerner, Small, and Loewenstein 2004), are in general more difficult to defend…”
Chameleonic or Consistent? A Multilevel Investigation of Emotional Labor Variability and Self-Monitoring (2012, methodology): “Importantly, emotional labor is an action that depletes resources and induces subsequent selfcontrol deficits (Muraven et al., 1998; Muraven & Baumeister, 2000), though it has been suggested that surface acting depletes resources to a greater extent than deep acting (e.g., Beal et al., 2005,…”
