Why self-control seems (but may not be) limited

Highlights • Self-control has a refractory period during which control is less likely. • The dominant view is that control is based on some limited resource or energy. • We highlight theoretical and empirical problems with this resource model of control. • We advance a competing, non-resource-based...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • Self-control has a refractory period during which control is less likely. • The dominant view is that control is based on some limited resource or energy. • We highlight theoretical and empirical problems with this resource model of control. • We advance a competing, non-resource-based account of self-control. • We suggest that control failure reflects the motivated switching of task priorities.
