进行了三项研究,以测试努力自我调节的行为后果。对饮食有长期抑制的人暴露在自我调节需求水平不同的情况下。随后,对参与者的自我调节能力进行了测量。两项研究操纵了让参与者接触美味零食的自我调节需求,而第三项研究要求参与者控制自己的情绪表达。正如假设的那样,在第一个任务中实施自我控制会导致随后任务中的自我控制能力下降。此外,这些影响并不是由于情感状态的变化,而是只有在第一个任务需要自我控制的情况下才会发生。这些发现是从自我调节资源耗尽的角度来解释的,这损害了成功的意志控制。
Three studies were conducted to test the behavioral consequences of effortful self-regulation. Individuals with chronic inhibitions about eating were exposed to situations varying in level of self-regulatory demand. Subsequently, participants' ability to self-regulate was measured. Two studies manipulated self-regulatory demand ny exposing participants to good-tasting snack foods, whereas a third study required participants to control their emotional expressions. As hypothesized, exerting self-control during the first task led to decrements in self-control on a subsequent task. Moreover, these effects were not due to changes in affective state and occurred only when self-control was required in the first task. These findings are explained in terms of depletion of self-regulatory resources, which impairs successful volitional control.
