Social Identity and Self-Regulation (2007, neutral): “Thinking of self-regulation as inhibition implies that we self-regulate because we have to, not because we want to (Baumeister, 2002; Baumeister & Heatherton, 1996).”
Ego depletion and the strength model of self-control: a meta-analysis. (2010, methodology): “We also examined the reference sections of key narrative reviews of the literature on ego depletion and the strength model of selfcontrol (Baumeister, 2002, 2003; Baumeister et al., 2000, 2006; Baumeister, Sparks, Stillman, & Vohs, 2008; Baumeister & Vohs, 2007; Baumeister et al., 2007; Gailliot &…”
When do you procrastinate? Sleep quality and social sleep lag jointly predict self-regulatory failure at work (2016, background): “On days employees come to work with insufficiently restored self-regulatory resources, initiating and maintaining action becomes increasingly difficult (Baumeister, 2002; Muraven & Baumeister, 2000).”
Bayesian Estimation and Inference (2015, background): “Theory on ego depletion characterizes self-regulatory capacity as a limited resource that takes time to regenerate after use, like a muscle (see Baumeister, 2002).”
After Depletion: The Replenishment of the Self's Regulatory Resources (2008, background): “‘‘According to this view, the executive function of the self operates in a fashion similar to a muscle or strength with its available energy reserves depleted by self-regulatory exertions’’ (Wallace & Baumeister, 2002, p. 35).”
Building a Sustainable Model of Human Energy in Organizations: Exploring the Critical Role of Resources (2012, background): “Physical energy appears to be the underlying mechanism that explains the ego-depletion process, whether potential energy is restored through the consumption of food (Gailliot & Baumeister, 2007) or rest (Baumeister, 2002), which gives the body an opportunity to transform energy stores into a more ea”
Money, depletion, and prosociality in the dictator game (2015, methodology): “, Baumeister et al., 1998; Bruyneel et al., 2009; Muraven et al., 1998). Hagger et al. (2010) reported that only a few studies in”
Psychological Flexibility as a Fundamental Aspect of Health (2010, background): “Essentially, executive functioning provides critical neuropsychological support for selfregulation (Baumeister, 2002).”
Staying on track: Planned goal striving is protected from disruptive internal states (2010, methodology): “Recent findings suggest that the executive self is a resource of limited capacity and that self-control consumes this resource inducing a state of ego depletion that hampers subsequent selfregulation performances (Baumeister, 2002; Baumeister, Vohs, & Tice, 2007; Muraven, Tice, & Baumeister, 1998).”
Self-control Depletion and the General Theory of Crime (2006, background): “Third, under both perspectives, low self-control can lead to a wide range of undesirable, imprudent, and antisocial behaviors. Baumeister (2002, p. 130) states:”
