攻击性冲动产生于许多因素，但它们通常被自我控制的社会规范所控制。因此，攻击性的近因往往是自我克制的失败。在五项研究中，自我调节能力的耗尽（由先前的，甚至是不相关的自我调节行为引起的）增加了攻击性反应，特别是在侮辱性挑衅之后。当参与者受到侮辱并且他们的自我调节能力耗尽时（即，在完成之前需要自我调节的任务后），参与者更有可能进行攻击。当侵略的冲动相对较弱时（即，当参与者没有受到侮辱时），自我调节耗竭并没有增加攻击行为。这种影响是由特质自我控制调节的：特质自我控制低的参与者特别有可能表达对挑衅做出积极反应的意图，而特质自我控制高的参与者没有表达积极反应的意图。实验室，自传体记忆，和假设的反应证实了模式。爱思唯尔公司出版
Aggressive impulses arise from many factors, but they are usually held in check by social norms for self-control. Thus, the proximal cause of aggression is often failure of self-restraint. In five studies, depleted capacity for self-regulation (caused by prior, even irrelevant acts of self-regulation) increased aggressive responding, especially after an insulting provocation. When participants were insulted and their self-regulatory strength was depleted (i.e., after completing previous tasks that required self-regulation), participants were more likely to aggress. When the urge to aggress was relatively weaker (i.e., when participants were not insulted), self-regulatory depletion did not increase aggressive behavior. This effect was moderated by trait self-control: Participants low in trait self-control were particularly likely to express intentions of behaving aggressively in response to provocation, whereas participants high in trait self-control did not express intentions of responding aggressively. Laboratory, autobiographical memory, and hypothetical responses confirmed the pattern. Published by Elsevier Inc.
