TLDR
Though the process model of depletion may sacrifice the elegance of the resource metaphor, it paints a more precise picture of ego depletion and suggests several nuanced predictions for future research.Abstract:
According to the resource model of self-control, overriding one’s predominant response tendencies consumes and temporarily depletes a limited inner resource. Over 100 experiments have lent support ...read more

Evaluating Effect Size in Psychological Research: Sense and Nonsense:
David C. Funder,Daniel J. Ozer +1 more
TL;DR: The most common mistakes being to describe effect sizes in ways that are uninformative (e.g., using arbitrary standards) or misleading as mentioned in this paper, i.e., squa...

An opportunity cost model of subjective effort and task performance.
TL;DR: It is argued that the phenomenology of effort can be understood as the felt output of these cost/benefit computations of the costs and benefits associated with task performance and motivates reduced deployment of these computational mechanisms in the service of the present task.

A Multilab Preregistered Replication of the Ego-Depletion Effect
TL;DR: The size of the ego-depletion effect was small with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) that encompassed zero (d = 0.04, 95% CI [−0.07, 0.15]), and implications of the findings for the psyche depletion effect and the resource depletion model of self-control are discussed.

Motivation and Cognitive Control: From Behavior to Neural Mechanism
Matthew Botvinick,Todd S. Braver +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that neuroscientific evidence plays a critical role in understanding the mechanisms by which motivation and cognitive control interact, and is advocated for a view of control function that treats it as a domain of reward-based decision making.
Journal ArticleDOI
Why self-control seems (but may not be) limited.
TL;DR: A competing model that develops a non-resource-based account of self-control is advanced, suggesting that apparent regulatory failures reflect the motivated switching of task priorities as people strive to strike an optimal balance between engaging cognitive labor to pursue 'have- to' goals versus preferring cognitive leisure in the pursuit of 'want-to' goals.

Conflict monitoring and cognitive control.
TL;DR: Two computational modeling studies are reported, serving to articulate the conflict monitoring hypothesis and examine its implications, including a feedback loop connecting conflict monitoring to cognitive control, and a number of important behavioral phenomena.

Ego depletion: is the active self a limited resource?
TL;DR: The results suggest that the self's capacity for active volition is limited and that a range of seemingly different, unrelated acts share a common resource.

Cybernetics: Or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine
TL;DR: In this paper, a study of human control functions and Mechanico-Electrical Systems designed to replace them is presented, with a focus on the human body's ability to control itself.

Self-theories: Their Role in Motivation, Personality, and Development
TL;DR: Theories of intelligence create high and low effort as mentioned in this paper... Theories and goals predict Self-Esteem Loss and Depressive Reactions, and why confidence and success are not enough.

Self-regulation and depletion of limited resources: does self-control resemble a muscle?
Mark Muraven,Roy F. Baumeister +1 more
TL;DR: The authors review evidence that self-control may consume a limited resource and conclude that the executive component of the self--in particular, inhibition--relies on a limited, consumable resource.
