Ego Depletion Study #1 Stucke & Baumeister (2006)

Answer 15

Purpose:
To investigate how resisting temptation (ego depletion) affects participants’ behavior in a subsequent task requiring self-control.

Findings:
Participants who resisted eating the treats gave more negative feedback to the experimenter.
Ego depletion led to less self-control in giving feedback, resulting in harsher evaluations.

Question 16

Ego Depletion Study #2 - DeWall et al. (2007)

Answer 16

Purpose:
To test how resisting temptation affects aggressive behavior when provoked.

Study Setup:
Participants had to resist eating a radish (low self-control) or a doughnut (high self-control).

Doughnut condition participants took a bite, then were stopped.

Later, participants received harsh feedback on an essay.

Participants could then assign hot sauce to the feedback giver.

Findings:
Participants who resisted eating the doughnut behaved more aggressively (assigned more hot sauce).

Ego depletion reduced self-control, leading to more aggression when provoked.

Conclusion:
Depleted self-control increases the likelihood of aggressive responses when provoked.

Interaction between self-control levels and situational provocation is key to aggression.
