Ego depletion is not just disappearing, it’s turning negative
- platz 7y agothought 'ego depletion' was debunked years ago
- sshine 7y agoI have no idea what it is, this meme is lost on me.
- namirez 7y agoI'm not sure if this is supposed to be humor or not, but this post doesn't add any valuable insight to the paper it's citing. Of course a linear fit is not the right approach here.
- dgreensp 7y agoWhat is the short version of why ego depletion isn’t actually a thing, or a link about it? This is one of those ideas that is still making the rounds.
- thecolorblue 7y agoTo save other from googling it as I did here is the wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ego_depletion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ego_depletion "Ego depletion refers to the idea that self-control or willpower draws upon a limited pool of mental resources that can be used up. When the energy for mental activity is low, self-control is typically impaired, which would be considered a state of ego depletion. In particular, experiencing a state of ego depletion impairs the ability to control oneself later on." Maybe someone else can summarize what this article is trying to show because it was lost on me.
