Self-control inhibits aggression. (2011, background): “Study 5 examined the other half of the strength model, which argues that an extended self-regulation regimen can bolster self-regulatory strength over time (Baumeister et al., 2006; Muraven & Baumeister, 2000).”
Consistent‐sufficient sleep predicts improvements in self‐regulatory performance and psychological strain (2011, background): “Much like other routine activities that provide self-regulatory practice over a sustained period of time (Baumeister et al., 2006; McCullough & Willoughby, 2009), maintaining consistent sleep habits may enhance self-regulatory strength as opposed to merely replenishing it.”
Out of Control (2015, positive): “…young adults showed that self-control can be improved through habit-breaking exercises, such as switching to use one’s nondominant hand for minor tasks like opening doors and brushing teeth and following speech rules (e.g., saying “yes” instead of “yeah”; not swearing; Baumeister et al., 2006).”
Coproduction of Transformative Services as a Pathway to Improved Consumer Well-Being (2015, background): “We use SDT as our platform theory and link it with attachment theory and SRT, all of which provide crucial insights into coproduction in transformative service settings.”
Ethics, Values, Virtues, and Character Strengths in Mindfulness-Based Interventions: a Psychological Science Perspective (2015, background): “Daily self-control exercises lead to increases in a general capacity for self-regulation (Baumeister et al. 2006).”
Self-Regulation, Ego Depletion, and Motivation (2007, background): “There are b y no w ample findings that cannot be explained on this basis (see Baumeister, Gailliot, DeWall, & Oaten, 2006, forthcoming ), but it is plausible that some of them could fit.”
Relating Mindfulness and Self-Regulatory Processes (2007, background): “Recent work (for a review, see Baumeister, Gailliot, DeWall, & Oaten, 2006 ) has shown that engaging in self-control exercises on a daily basis increases the general capacity for self-control, and that such an increase results in a variety of benefits for the self.”
Perseverance Strategies for Enterprising Individuals (2012, background): “…signed up and adhered to a money management program not only spent less, they also did better on a subsequent visual tracking task, showed better maintenance of household chores, and ate healthier food in spite of the increase in cost (five of these studies are reviewed in Baumeister et al., 2006).”
Building consumer self-control: The effect of self-control exercises on impulse buying urges (2012, background): “In fact, while ruling out several alternative explanations (e.g., increased selfefficacy, reduced distress; Baumeister et al. 2006), very few studies have directly demonstrated the mediating mechanisms responsible for depletion and enhancement effects.”
Rumination as a Mechanism Linking Stressful Life Events to Symptoms of Depression and Anxiety: Longitudinal Evidence in Early Adolescents and Adults (2013, background): “Exposure to stressful life events might also hinder one’s ability to engage in active coping or problem solving (Baumeister et al., 2006; Inzlicht et al., 2006).”
