“…As indicated in the introduction, an additional moderator is the sense of autonomy, or self-determination, that is, having participants choose the to-be-carried out tasks instead of imposing them externally. Only in the latter case are egodepletion effects to be expected (Moller et al 2006;Muraven 2008;Ryan and Deci 2008) The construct of Action versus State Orientation from Kuhl seems to be similar to the Locus of Control construct postulated by Rotter (1966). 3 That is, it may be expected that action oriented persons have an internal whereas state oriented persons have an external locus of control.…”

Personality systems interaction (PSI) theory postulates two executive control modes: Self-control and self-regulation. Self-control, typical of state oriented persons, should result in “ego depletion” whereas self-regulation, typical of action oriented persons, should result in invigoration. State- and action-oriented participants performed the Plan-a-Day and the 5-disk Tower-of-Hanoi tasks. There were no differences between them on the first task, but action had better performance than state oriented in terms of number of moves and solution time on the second task, independently of differences in self-determination. Better performance in the Tower of Hanoi correlated positively with activation, and negatively with apathy. We conclude that whereas self-control is associated with depletion, self-regulation is associated with invigoration in performing the Tower of Hanoi task.

“…Participants in two nonchoice conditions rated how difficult it would be to make choices for the self or others in those situations. We measured depletion by assessing support for a status quo option—a sign of passivity, which indicates depletion (Danziger et al, 2011; Levav et al, 2010; Vonasch et al, 2015).…”

“…Consumers chose more default options at the end of the choice process than the beginning, suggesting that after making many decisions people increasingly relied on decision shortcuts (Levav, Heitmann, Herrmann, & Iyengar, 2010). Indeed, going with the default option is a sign of passivity and a hallmark of decision fatigue (Vonasch, Vohs, Baumeister, Pocheptsova, & Dhar, 2015).…”

Past research has shown that people tend to feel depleted by their decisions. In contrast, we found people report that making decisions for others (vs. the self) is less depleting because it is more enjoyable. Our investigation thus replicated a prior finding (that decision-making is depleting), moderated it by target of decision (self vs. other), and demonstrated mediation (enjoyment). We further measured chronic focus on self or others (self-construal) and established a full process model that marries prior findings with the current ones: Choosing for others is more enjoyable and less depleting to the extent that decision makers are independent, and less enjoyable and more depleting to the extent that decision makers are interdependent. That a mismatch between chronic and state orientation leads to the better outcomes for self-control indicates a special link between self-construal and decision-making.

“…Others (Undarwati et al, 2017). Ego depletion can result in passive behavior such as Lack of initiative and impulsive behavior, such as decreasing mental control over behavioral responses (Vonasch et al, 2017), increasing students' deceptive behavior (Keller et al, 2020), and being a predictor of future anxiety (AlHarbi et al, 2021). In addition, the emergence of ego depletion can impact decreasing academic performance, concentration, leaving responsibility for tasks, and unethical behavior.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic is still being felt until September 2021 in several countries around the world. We examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially on unethical behavior during online learning—other phenomena such as ego depletion trigger academic dishonesty behavior that occurs. A total of 92 students participated in this research. The measurement tool uses the ego depletion scale and the academic dishonesty scale. The results show that ego depletion is a significant predictor of academic dishonesty. The contribution of ego depletion to academic dishonesty is 16.3%. Ego fatigue makes students choose an easier academic path, which they feel has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. So that the behavior of academic dishonesty increases. The implications and research suggestions are discussed in detail.
