Abstract
A commentary on Misguided effort with elusive implications by Baumeister, R. F., and Vohs, K. D. (2016). Perspect. Psychol. Sci. [Epub ahead of print]. Sifting signal from noise with replication science by Sripada, C., Kessler, D., and Jonides, J. (2016). Perspect. Psychol. Sci. [Epub ahead of print]. Driven by its elegant simplicity and intuitive appeal, the ego-depletion effect has received considerable attention in the scientific literature and media. Self-control is conceptualized as a limited resource that becomes depleted after a period of exertion leading to reduced self-control capacity (Baumeister et al., 1998). Our meta-analysis of published studies adopting the sequential-task paradigm to test the ego-depletion effect revealed a medium-sized effect (d = 0.62). However, another meta-analysis identified substantive small-study bias and a corrected effect that was close to zero (Carter et al., 2015).
