Abstract

An influential line of research suggests that initial bouts of self-control increase the susceptibility to self-control failure (ego depletion effect). Despite seemingly abundant evidence, some researchers have suggested that evidence for ego depletion was the sole result of publication bias and p-hacking, with the true effect being indistinguishable from zero. Here, we examine (a) whether the evidence brought forward against ego depletion will convince a proponent that ego depletion does not exist and (b) whether arguments that could be brought forward in defense of ego depletion will convince a skeptic that ego depletion does exist. We conclude that despite several hundred published studies, the available evidence is inconclusive. Both additional empirical and theoretical works are needed to make a compelling case for either side of the debate. We discuss necessary steps for future work toward this aim.

自我损耗是真实的吗?论点分析。
一项有影响力的研究表明,最初的自我控制会增加自我控制失败的易感性(自我损耗效应)。尽管证据看似丰富,但一些研究人员认为,自我损耗的证据是发表偏见和p-hacking的唯一结果,真正的影响与零几乎没有区别。在这里,我们研究(a)提出的反对自我耗尽的证据是否会让支持者相信自我耗尽不存在;(b)提出的为自我耗尽辩护的论据是否会让怀疑论者相信自我耗尽确实存在。我们的结论是,尽管发表了数百项研究,但现有的证据是不确定的。需要更多的实证和理论工作来为辩论的任何一方提供令人信服的案例。我们讨论了实现这一目标的未来工作的必要步骤。
