TL;DR: The results showed that both traits were important predictors of adherence but the underlying mechanisms differed; individuals high in boredom perceived social distancing as more difficult, which in turn reduced their adherence; however, self-control moderated the effect of difficulty on adherence.

TL;DR: This article performed a meta-analysis to quantify the effect of ego depletion and mental fatigue on subsequent physical endurance performance (42 independent effect sizes) and found that ego depletion or mental fatigue leads to a reduction in subsequent performance, and that the observed reduction in performance is higher when the person-situation fit is low.

TL;DR: It is proposed that task-induced boredom should be systematically monitored in self-control research to assess the validity of the ego-depletion effect, and a working model is provided that integrates evidence from reward-based models ofSelf-control and recent theorizing on boredom to explain the effects of both self- Control exertion and boredom on subsequent self- control performance.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors suggest that boredom and self-control are two important psychological concepts for understanding the challenges the COVID-19 pandemic containment measures pose to individuals, and they propose to consider the specific and combined effects of boredom and Self-control demands elicited by this situation on subsequent behavior.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the role of individual differences in self-reported weekly exercise behavior (in minutes) in a sample of N =Â507 participants (n = 200 female, Mage = 36.43 (± 9.54)) using the robust variant of Mahalanobis distance to detect and remove n =Â51 multivariate outliers and then performed latent profile analysis to assess if boredom and self-control combine into identifiable latent profiles.
