Self-Regulation and Ego Control
Description
Key Features
- Covers the neuropsychological evidence for depletion effects, highlighting the roles of reward, valuation, and control in self-regulation
- Reviews the roles of willpower, expectancies of mental energy change, and individual differences in the modulation of self-control exertion
- Highlights the effects of various states such as positive mood, power, implementation intentions, mindfulness, and social rejection as moderators of depletion
- Provides clarification of the distinctions between self-control in the context of goal-directed behavior versus related terms like self-regulation, executive control, and inhibition
- Details the overlap between mental and physical depletion, and the potential interplay and substitutability of resources
- Challenges the view that depletion reflects capacity limitations and includes newer models that take a more motivational account of resource allocation
- Facilitates discourse across researchers from different ideological camps within the field.
- Informs and enriches future research and advances more integrated views of self-regulation
Readership
Researchers and students in social, cognitive, and clinical psychology, and neuroscienctists with an interest in self-regulation and self-control. Clinicians and researchers who work in addictions, eating disorders, and motivational and sensitivity training will serve as a secondary market.
