Debt out of control: The links between self-control, compulsive buying, and real debts (2015, unknown): “The literature on self-control suggests that training self-control is possible (Baumeister, Gailliot, DeWall, & Oaten, 2006; Muraven, Baumeister, & Tice, 1999; Oaten & Cheng, 2006, 2007).”
Religion, self-regulation, and self-control: Associations, explanations, and implications. (2009, background): “Exercising self-regulation over one's behavior in one area (e.g., commencing a regular program of study or paying attention to one's posture) creates self-regulatory strength that people can then apply in other areas (Muraven, Baumeister, & Tice, 1999; Oaten & Cheng, 2006).”
Ego depletion and the strength model of self-control: a meta-analysis. (2010, methodology): “Preliminary evidence has been provided by Oaten and Cheng (2006b, 2007), who found steadily decreasing levels of ego depletion within trained participants at multiple time points during an extended training intervention.”
Building a Sustainable Model of Human Energy in Organizations: Exploring the Critical Role of Resources (2012, background): “…moral identity, however, do not behave more dishonestly even when their self-control resources are depleted Non-organizational Muraven et al. (1999) Oaten and Cheng (2006) Oaten and Cheng (2007) Lab experiments Undergraduates These studies suggest that individuals who engage in repeated…”
Self-control training decreases aggression in response to provocation in aggressive individuals (2011, unknown): “…Gailliot, DeWall, & Oaten, 2006; Gailliot, Plant, Butz, & Baumeister, 2007; Hui et al., 2009; Muraven, 2010a, 2010b; Muraven, Baumeister, & Tice, 1999; Oaten & Cheng, 2006a, 2006b, 2007), no research has examined whether practicing self-control in an unrelated domain can reduce aggression.”
Strength Model of Self-Regulation as Limited Resource: Assessment, Controversies, Update (2016, background): “Oaten and Cheng (2006a, 2006b) had participants exercise self-control by improving study habits, improving financial discipline, or adopting a physical exercise program, and these were verified by improved performance on a lab test that measured visual tracking of stimuli despite ongoing…”
Improvements in self-control from financial monitoring (2007, methodology): “Thus, this task is sensitive to depletion manipulations, but not to non-depleting tasks, and has been validated in previous research to assess self-regulatory capacity (Oaten & Cheng, 2006a, 2006b).”
Impulsive versus reflective influences on health behavior: a theoretical framework and empirical review (2008, unknown): “Common health interventions have primarily focused on changing health-related cognitions (Miller & Rollnick, 2002 ; Puska, 1985 ; Wolburg, Hovland, & Hopson, 1999 ) and/or creating circumstances that strengthen people's ability to deal with problematic situations (Marlatt & Gordon, 1985 ; Miller”
Mind the Gap in Mindfulness Research: A Comparative Account of the Leading Schools of Thought (2013, background): “…such as the brief mindfulness interventions discussed here, may strengthen the selfregulation muscle thereby improving one’s dispositional selfregulatory capacities and reducing one’s susceptibility to ego depletion (Oaten & Cheng, 2006; Baumeister & Heatherton, 1996; Masicampo & Baumeister, 2007).”
The strength model of self-regulation failure and health-related behaviour (2009, methodology): “The training studies by Oaten and Cheng (2006a, 2006b, 2007) may provide a blueprint for such designs as they included interventions using health behaviours in naturalistic settings (e.g., exercise programmes) to bolster self-control in other domains.”
