Ego Depletion—Is It All in Your Head? (2010, background): “According to the strength model of self-control, motivational factors that counteract ego-depletion effects (e.g., incentives or expectancies) may do so because motivation can compensate for a lack of self-regulatory strength to some degree (Baumeister & Vohs, 2007; Muraven et al., 2006).”
The strength model of self-control revisited: Linking acute and chronic effects of exercise on executive functions (2015, background): “motivation can be considered as the general drive or inclination to reach the goal, adhere to a social norm, or move closer to personal values.(32) Consequently, effective self-regulatory operations are conscious, intentional, goal directed and fueled by available self-control resources.”
Abusive supervision and retaliation: A self-control framework (2014, methodology): “In this respect, prior research and theory (Baumeister & Vohs, 2007) suggest at least two ingredients that facilitate people’s ability to control impulses.”
Differing Pathways between Religiousness, Spirituality, and Health: A Self-Regulation Perspective (2014, background): “Baumeister and Vohs (2007) defined self-regulation as “the way that a person controls his or her own responses so as to pursue or maintain go ls and live up to standards” (p. 500) and as “the exercise of control over oneself, especially with regard to bringing the self into line with preferred…”
Brick by Brick: The Origins, Development, and Future of Self-Determination Theory (2019, background): “Numerous experiments have supported this view, demonstrating that the exercise of self-control can deplete energy, as manifest in diminished subsequent persistence on assigned tasks (e.g., Baumeister & Vohs, 2007; Tice, Baumeister, Shmueli, & Muraven, 2007).”
Polluted work: A self-control perspective on air pollution appraisals, organizational citizenship, and counterproductive work behavior (2017, positive): “In the absence of sufﬁcient recovery opportunities individuals become drained of their capacity for self-control, a state which Baumeister and Vohs (2007) refer to as depletion.”
“Facilitating optimal motivation and psychological well-being across life’s domains”: Correction to Deci and Ryan (2008). (2008, background): “In doing so, most theories have treated motivation as a unitary concept that varies primarily in amount (e.g., Bandura, 1996; Baumeister & Vohs, 2007).”
Mathematical Caring Relations in Action (2010, background): “Much of the research on subjective vitality thus far has focused on how fostering or thwarting autonomy may affect subjective vitality (e.g., Baumeister, et al., 1998; Baumeister & Vohs, 2007; Moller, Deci, & Ryan, 2006; Muraven, Gagné, & Rosman, 2008; Nix et al., 1999).”
From Ego Depletion to Vitality: Theory and Findings Concerning the Facilitation of Energy Available to the Self (2008, methodology): “Most models of psychological energy, both past (Freud, 1923; Selye, 1975) and present ( Baumeister & Vohs, 2007 ), have been primarily occupied with the blocking and expenditure of energy rather than the maintenance and enhancement of it. Although these models of depletion and energy cost are inform”
