Ego depletion and the strength model of self-control: a meta-analysis. (2010, background): “In this article we define self-control as the effortful capacity of the individual to regulate his or her emotions, thoughts, impulses, or other well-learned or automatic behavioral responses (Vohs, 2006). cantly impaired performance on the handgrip task (Muraven et al., 1998).”
Impulsive versus reflective influences on health behavior: a theoretical framework and empirical review (2008, background): “…the judgmental and behavioral flexibility provided by the reflective system has a severe disadvantage: That is, the cognitive resources available for reflective operations are assumed to be subject to situational or dispositional limitations (Evans, 2008; Fazio & Towels-Schwen, 1999; Vohs, 2006).”
Impulse and Self-Control From a Dual-Systems Perspective (2009, background): “…flexibility achieved by these higher order mental transformations comes at a cost: in accordance with most other dual-systems and dual-mode accounts, it is assumed that the operations of the reflective system are dependent on control resources (Evans, 2008; Fazio & Towels-Schwen, 1999; Vohs, 2006).”
Unable to Resist Temptation: How Self-control Depletion Promotes Unethical Behavior (2011, background): “compared to people who have not recently had to self-regulate their behavior, people who have had to self-regulate their behavior are more likely to overeat, procrastinate, or shop impulsively (e.g., Baumeister et al., 1998; Vohs, 2006; Vohs, Baumeister, & Ciarocco, 2005; Vohs & Faber, 2007; Vohs & ”
Ethically adrift: How others pull our moral compass from true North, and how we can fix it (2013, background): “self-control rather than what builds it up (Baumeister & Heatherton, 1996; Vohs, 2006), recent research provides evidence that we can build up our reservoir of self-control through practice (Muraven, 2010; Oaten & Cheng, 2007)”
Why did I eat that? Perspectives on food decision making and dietary restraint (2010, background): “In addition, self-control failures among restrained eaters may lead to feelings of negative self-worth that further reduce the ability to exert self-control in future decision making tasks (Vohs, 2006).”
Building consumer self-control: The effect of self-control exercises on impulse buying urges (2012, background): “Along similar lines, additional research suggests that ego depletion compromises higher order thought processes located within the prefrontal cortex (e.g., Schmeichel 2007; Schmeichel et al. 2003; Schmeichel et al. 2008; Vohs 2006).”
