Talk:Ego depletion

message: Deleted link of Ego depletion and Alcoholism, a link to a paper that must be bought isnt much of a help when looking for information, isnt it?
Added as well a new link towards another paper, this one with free access and about the same topic.
This research, by the way is far more important than this little entry reflects. Work should be done in the future to expand it ,or to include it in the self control article.

replies: text: (In the future please sign your posts with four tildes: ~~~~ ). Ego-depletion does not state that humans don't have the ability to regulate behaviour, it states that self-control is a limited resource. Ego-depletion is a well-established finding within social psychology; if you have sources criticising the theory then please post them, but personal/philosophical objections aren't sufficient (WP:V). justinfr (talk/contribs) 18:43, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Please, if someone enters the stuff, do not make it onto a literature review type, and do not let the article degrade into a long a unreadable list of endless details. I have no idea how this is possible, but its important. Jazi  Zilber (talk) 16:11, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Missing elements 

message: 1) the glucose theory
Galliot et all papers showing glucose connection via:
reduction of glucose after depletion (later contested by Kruzban)
COntrolling for glucose levels eliminates depletion
drinking sugar eliminated depletion but not drinking artificially sweetened drink.
Kurzban offered that drinking glucose counteracts depletion by the effect of sugar in the mouth. He cited studies that mouthwashing with sugar increases self control and motivaiton. Later, a depletion study by .... showed that mouthwashing with sugar counteracted depletion as much as drinking sugared drinks. Same paper also failed to show sugar reduction after depletion.

message: logical thoughts cause depletion, and become harder when depleted
unclear social interactions (the lit. uses a different term, I think paper is by Vohs? and Finkel?) causes depletion, and is harder to handle when depleted.

thread_title: effects of depletion, and what causes depletion

message: Multiple studies were done on the possibility that exercising self control will improve self control ability. Exercises used were holding a hand grip as long as possible twice a day. paying a ttention to posture. and other exercises. Jazi  Zilber (talk) 16:15, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: THe effects of exercise

message: Why split the two parts of the article on the experimental evidence? The latest analysis has shown no evidence of ego depletion. I think the reader would like to know that up front. 73.227.77.118 (talk) 12:08, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I could see it either way, although I tend to agree with the IP user that the RRR is a key piece of experimental evidence.  It's not the only piece of evidence, but it is a key piece of evidence.  I'm not sure how to jive that with the current section on the replication issue, maybe put that up earlier near the "key evidence" section?  As for Jazi's comment, my observation is that probably how one looks at this evidence depends upon where one is on the larger replication crisis.  Although I suppose it's true that "many" consider the RRR to be imprecise as a piece of evidence, the "vibe" I get from psychologists is that many more consider ego depletion, as a theory, to at very least be in a bit of serious trouble.
