Abstract: Exerting self-control in a first task weakens self-control performance in a subsequent unrelated task (ego depletion). In self-control research new strategies are required to investigate the ego-depletion effect, which has recently been shown to be more fragile than previously assumed. Moreover, the relation between ego depletion and trait self-control is still unclear, as various studies have reported heterogeneous findings concerning the interplay of both variables. We addressed these lacunas by drawing on a… Show more

“…However, conscientiousness was weakly but negatively associated with fatigue resistance, suggesting that high-effort engagement may increase susceptibility to fatigue over time. This pattern is consistent with prior findings that conscientious individuals may overexert themselves during sustained performance, leading to greater fatigue (Imhoff et al, 2014; Lindner et al, 2017).…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…This evidence resonates with previous findings: nomophobia induces individual anxiety and fatigue, hence reducing self-control [83,137]. The depletion of self-control causes decreased cognitive abilities and academic performance [138,139]. We also find that bedtime smartphone use, as an external stimulus concerning personal experience, directly triggers students' sleep deprivation by causing delaying bedtime habits and insomnia.…”

“…Therefore, there is no indication that effortful self-control during the manipulation (transcription task) led to negative affect although the task was perceived as difficult and performing as effortful. This matches the results of two of our previous studies where we used the same manipulation and manipulation check and did not find higher negative affect after effortful self-control either [38,46]. According to a meta-analysis [54], prior exertion of effortful self-control has at best a small effect on negative affect (d + = 0.14, CI95 [0.06, 0.22], Cochran's Q-test not significant) and no effect on positive affect.…”
