Self-Regulation and Performance in High-Fidelity Simulations: An Extension of Ego-Depletion Research

The Impact of Media Multitasking on the Cognitive and Attitudinal Responses to Television Commercials: The Moderating Role of Type of Advertising Appeal

“…Due to this switching behavior, an interference effect between the tasks may easily occur, especially when complex tasks involving the same senses are concerned (Lee and Taatgen 2002). Considering the nature of multitasking, it is not surprising that multitasking contexts have been shown to deplete cognitive and self-regulatory resources, thus decreasing performance on subsequent tasks that require self-regulation (Zyphur et al 2007). …”

Emotional Labor at a Crossroads: Where Do We Go from Here?

“…Several laboratory studies with service simulations provide evidence that emotional labor has costs to task performance. Emotional requirements and emotion regulation reduced subsequent self-regulatory performance on attentional tasks, decision making, and physical exertion (Goldberg & Grandey 2007, Zyphur et al 2007). However, these costs seem to be specific to surface acting or suppression.…”

Health behaviours and their facilitation under depletion conditions: The case of snacking

“…The depletion by goal-priming interaction remained non-significant (F(1,81) = 0.66, p = .42). findings help to clarify previously mixed reports as to whether the specific health behaviour of limiting snacking is compromised under depletion conditions, among members of broader samples (Friese et al, 2008;study 2;Stillman et al, 2009;study 3;Zyphur et al, 2007; study 1). To overcome the limitations of previous studies, the present research only recruited participants who held health goals, and included diverse foods in the taste-test in order to appeal to divergent tastes.…”

“…In one study it was found that depleted participants from a broader sample ate more than non-depleted participants when offered snack foods (Zyphur, Warren, Landis, & Thoresen, 2007; study 1), whereas other studies reported only a marginally significant effect (Friese, Hofmann, & Wänke, 2008; study 2), or no significant depletion effect on snacking (Stillman, Tice, Fincham, & Lambert, 2009; study 3). These divergent findings may be accounted for by the lack of consideration given in these studies to the extent to which participants held long-term health goals and were tempted by the proffered snacks.…”
