Ego-Depletion 2.0: Current Perspectives on Limited Self-Control

Friday, May 25, 2018 · San Francisco, CA

Oral · Social

Self-control has been proposed to constitute a finite resource. We review recent findings quantifying the economic costs of decision fatigue in a real-life context, possible ways to strategically balance the pursuit of multiple goals, a meta-analysis on self-control training, and a large-scale pre-registered replication study of the ego depletion effect.
