Interesting! I would have thought that the ego depletion idea would be the only plausible bit from the entire school of research that the author (aptly) criticizes. (Who among us has not forced themselves to go to the gym and thereby been unable to resist the pizza?)
- mst 3y agoI think for it to be a test of pure ego depletion, the thing you were unable to resist would have to be unrelated to the thing you forced yourself to do. Whereas 'hunger' or 'I just did something healthy' could both lead one to choose post-gym pizza without needing an ego depletion concept to explain it.
