Ego depletion and the strength model of self-control: a meta-analysis. (2010, methodology): “Complex tasks required a greater number of cognitive processes such as mixed-arithmetic operations or memory updating than did tasks such as rote memory (Schmeichel, 2007), which required relatively few.”
Taking Stock of Self-Control (2011, neutral): “, 1998; Muraven & Baumeister, 2000), mood (Fishbach & Labroo, 2007; Tice, Baumeister, Shmueli, & Muraven, 2007), working memory capacity (Hofmann, Gschwendner, Friese, Wiers, & Schmitt, 2008; Schmeichel, 2007), and motivation (Muraven, 2007).”
Motivation and cognitive control: from behavior to neural mechanism. (2015, background): “For example, in a study by Schmeichel (2007) two groups of participants first watched a video clip, one under attention-distraction conditions (ignoring words shown at the bottom of the screen) and the other not.”
Trait and State Differences in Working Memory Capacity (2010, background): “…performance on WMC tasks, such as transient changes in mood states, but they do not affect the overall correlation between these tasks and higher order cognition (Engle & Kane, 2004; Schmeichel , 2007; Wegner, Erber, & Zanakos, 1993; Turley-Ames & Whitfield, 2003 ; but see Beilock & DeCaro, 2007 ).”
Mediator and moderator effects of demands on self-control in the relationship between work load and indicators of job strain (2009, background): “Self-regulation or self-control are based on executive control processes and can be defined as the mental effort required to inhibit, control, or alter one’s spontaneous and habitual thoughts, emotions, and response patterns in order to ensure the unimpaired exertion of planned, purposeful behaviour”
A General Model of Preventive and Interventive Self‐Control (2012, result): “Similar conclusions have been drawn in work linking executive functions and self-regulation (Hofmann, Gschwendner, Friese, Wiers, & Schmitt, 2008; Hofmann, Schmeichel, & Baddeley, 2012; Schmeichel, 2007).”
Cognitive Architecture and Instructional Design: 20 Years Later (2019, background): “With regard to general depletion effects, Schmeichel (2007) showed that engaging in self-control tasks can lower performance on subsequent working memory tests.”
An integrated process model of stereotype threat effects on performance. (2008, background): “More specific to emotional suppression, efforts to regulate emotional responses have been found to tax cognitive resources (e.g., Gross, 2002; Richards & Gross, 2000; Schmeichel, 2007) and have the ironic effect of increasing accessibility of anxiety-related thoughts (Wegner, Erber, & Zanakos, 1993)”
Examining the protective effects of mindfulness training on working memory capacity and affective experience. (2010, background): “Recent studies report that WMC is reduced within individuals following high cognitive demands, such as performing a color– word Stroop task, or affective demands, such as inhibiting emotional expressions while watching an emotionally evocative video (Schmeichel, 2007) or suppressing the experience o”
Self-compassion, self-regulation, and health (2011, background): “For instance, people who are asked to engage in emotional suppression or amplification have less self-regulatory resources available for later tasks (Baumeister, Bratslavsky, Muraven, & Tice, 1998; Schmeichel, 2007).”
Approach, Ability, Aftermath: A Psychological Process Framework of Unethical Behavior at Work (2015, background): “natural response, or used up working memory by having to keep multiple other things in mind (Schmeichel, 2007).”
The strength model of self-regulation failure and health-related behaviour (2009, methodology): “Tests of the ego-depletion effect have typically adopted a two-task experimental procedure (Baumeister et al, 1998 ; Schmeichel, 2007 ).”
