Abstract

A commentary on Is ego depletion too incredible? Evidence for the overestimation of the depletion effect by Carter, E., and McCullough, M. (2013). Behav. Brain Sci. 36, 683–684. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X13000952 The “strength” model conceptualizes self-control as a limited resource (Baumeister et al., 1998). Individuals are able to exert self-control, but only for a limited period after which capacity declines leading to reduced self-control capacity; a state known as ego-depletion. The model has generated a sizable literature confirming the ego-depletion effect in multiple spheres. Our meta-analysis of published ego-depletion studies computed a medium-sized effect (d = 0.62) across 198 tests (Hagger et al., 2010).
