Considerable research demonstrates that the depletion of self-regulatory resources impairs performance on subsequent tasks demand these resources. The current sought to assess impact perceived resource task at both high and low levels actual depletion. authors manipulated by having participants 1st complete a depleting or nondepleting before being presented with feedback did not provide situational attribution for their internal state. Participants then persisted problem-solving (Experiments...
There is an active debate regarding whether the ego depletion effect real. A recent preregistered experiment with Stroop task as depleting and antisaccade outcome found a medium-level size. In current research, we conducted multilab replication of that experiment. Data from 12 labs across globe (N = 1,775) revealed small significant effect, d 0.10. After excluding participants who might have responded randomly during task, size increased to 0.16. By adding informative, unbiased data point...
The global crisis of bacterial resistance urges the scientific community to implement intervention programs in healthcare facilities promote an appropriate use antibiotics. However, clinical benefits or impact on these interventions has not been definitively proved.We designed a quasi-experimental study with interrupted time-series analysis. A multidisciplinary team conducted multifaceted educational our tertiary-care hospital over 5-year period. main activity program consisted peer-to-peer...
The human mind is quite adept at modifying and regulating thoughts, judgments, behaviors. Recent research has demonstrated that depletion of self-regulatory resources can impair executive function through restriction working memory capacity. current work explored whether the mere perception resource (i.e., illusory fatigue) sufficient to directly produce these deficits in control. To manipulate fatigue, participants were exposed a depleting or nondepleting task before being presented with...
Appraisal research has traditionally focused on negative emotions but not addressed issues concerning the relationships between several positive and appraisals in daily life extent to which co-occurrence of can be explained by overlap appraisals. Driven a priori hypotheses appraisal-emotion relationships, this study investigated 12 13 appraisal dimensions using Ecological Momentary Assessment. The results provide strong evidence that correlate significantly life. Importantly, we found...
Research demonstrates that there are 2 distinct facets of pride: the prosocial, achievement-oriented form pride known as authentic pride, and self-aggrandizing, egotistical hubristic pride. This research examined whether have divergent effects on delay gratification. Support was found for prediction would facilitate ability to gratification, whereas undermine it. Also, self-transcendent value affirmation demonstrated moderate delayed Specifically, when people feeling had an opportunity...
Past research demonstrates that gratitude affects individuals' self-regulation of behavior primarily through engendering a prosocial tendency. Based on theories proposing plays an unique role in fostering communal relationship (e.g., Algoe, 2012), we propose can have incidental effect facilitating goal contagion: automatically inferring and adopting the implied by social other's behavior. This hypothesis is supported 3 studies. In Study 1, after being exposed to behaviors target either...
Significance Recent debates about the failure of education system in uplifting disadvantaged have focused on implications for social justice and stability. Learners’ psychology is understudied. How may a low-mobility learning environment, which signals reduced potential learners to achieve success, impact individuals’ recruitment adaptive psychological processes? In both naturally existing experimentally constructed contexts, we observe that environments, as compared high-mobility ones, are...
Abstract Increasing voters' cooperative tendencies following an election loss is paramount for modern democracies, especially those becoming increasingly polarized. In the context of 2020 United States presidential election, we investigated effect national attachment on Americans' electoral loss. a preregistered study, along three dimensions ( commitment , deference superiority ) and their cognitive identification with country (importance) were measured. Americans who more committed to...
Abstract The current research investigates whether implicit–explicit attitudinal discrepancy (IED) weakens attitudes as explicit discrepancies do. Across two experiments, we found that IED is an indicator of weak attitudes. In Experiment 1, individuals with greater toward exercise were more swayed by a self‐perceptual manipulation than lower exercise. 2, the stability and predictive power alcohol lessened for participants who had IED. These effects occurred independently participants' levels...
Recent theorists argue that gratitude, besides encouraging social exchange, serves an important function of relationship building. However, there is a lack research exploring the specific behaviors through which gratitude promotes Given behavioral mimicry affiliative needs, we explored whether mimicry. We found participants who received intentional help later mimicked mannerisms their benefactor. This tendency was not extended to nonbenefactor. In contrast, ended up with same positive...
Americans' opposition toward building an Islamic community center at Ground Zero has been attributed solely to a general anti-Muslim sentiment. We hypothesized that some negative reaction was also due their motivation symbolically pursue positive U.S. group identity, which had suffered from concurrent economic and political downturn. Indeed, when participants perceived the United States suffering lowered international status, those who identified strongly with country, as evidenced...
Past research on academic success emphasizes the need to avoid pleasurable nonacademic activities. In context of enjoying big-time collegiate sports, we examined notion that students, especially academically successful ones, may strategically indulge in sports games resolve conflict with pursuit. After confirming high- (vs. low-) grade point average (GPA) students indeed found game-related activities less disruptive ( N pilot = 325), proceeded study whether strategic indulgence or...
There is an active debate regarding whether the ego depletion effect real. A recent pre-registered experiment with Stroop task as depleting and antisaccade outcome found a medium level size. In current research, we multi-lab collaborating project to replicate that experiment. Data from twelve labs across globe (N = 1775) revealed small but significant effect, g 0.12, CI95 [0.02, 0.21]. The data also provided some evidence in support of moderating individual differences lay theory about...
It is well established that gratitude favours prosocial tendencies in neutral and amicable social interactions. Less clear, however, about the role of threatening situations breed competitive impulses. As inhibits self-centred impulses motivates a communal orientation, we predict demonstrate reduces behaviour In Study 1 (N = 171), after emotion induction, participants went through classic Trucking game paradigm, whereby bogus opponent behaved manner (i.e. closing gate on them). Gratitude, as...
We took a rare opportunity to examine whether extreme debtors have inflated assessment of their self-control capacity, potentially rendering self-reported measures ineffective as prediction tools for debt risks.The profiles (n = 1442), whose credit card amounted more than 12 months income, were compared with samples the general population 505) and students from an elite university 1011) on measure, behavioral intention executive function measure.Extreme reported highest measure but scored...
In their target article, Scholer, Cornwell, and Higgins (this issue) challenge the conventional wisdom that approach, as opposed to avoidance, motivation is always better motivation. By analyzi...
Past research has indicated that individuals with a high need for cognitive closure (NFCC) are more susceptible to priming effects in norm-absent contexts. We proposed norm-present contexts, whereby normative information competes affecting individuals’ understanding of the social environment, opposite pattern would occur. In Study 1, low- rather than high-NFCC showed greater prime-consistent behavior context strong norm comply. 2, when both and were manipulated, dictated low-NFCC behaviors,...
Traditional models of behavior change emphasize knowledge, beliefs, and injunctive norms as targets intervention. Emotion—a potent force guiding human behavior—is strikingly absent from most behavioral interventions. This article reviews evidence that emotion is not only consequential for common intervention, but can be activated strategically to facilitate change. presents a new framework classifying targets, along with specific emotion-leveraging intervention techniques matched each...
In 4 studies, we accumulated support for the prediction that depletion suspends comparator mechanism of self-regulatory monitoring. We adopted an individual difference approach and designated chronic self-consciousness as a signature variable mechanism. nondepletion condition, found predicted self-regulation by itself (Study 1), or interacting synergistically with other motivational factors such online goal focus 2) task motivation 3). ceased to predict performance, which suggested...
