Fatigue and the Intensity of Behavioral Restraint – Considering Significance for Health and Self-Control

Abstract

We describe an emerging analysis of fatigue influence on behavioral restraint and consider its potential significance for two central concerns of contemporary restraint investigators: (1) adverse health effects of restraint, and (2) fatigue influence on self-control.Regarding health, the analysis provides a conceptual framework for anticipating restraint intensity and therefore possible risk.It also draws attention to a pathological pathway through which restraint could generate some adverse health outcomes.Regarding self-control, the analysis conveys a perspective that could markedly improve our prediction of relevant outcomes and has focused significance for crises that have been identified in relation to the influential limited resource analysis of self-control developed by Baumeister and colleagues.Crisis concerns have led some to conclude that the limited resource analysis should be discarded.The present behavioral restraint analysis goes against this grain, suggesting that the limited resource analysis might wisely be retained and afforded the chance to mature -among other things, incorporating elaborated effort components.
