Abstract:Namen pričujoče raziskave je bil raziskati koncepta situacijske ter dispozicijske samokontrole ter preveriti učinke implicitnih teorij (prepričanj o moči volje) na pojav ego izčrpanosti in posledično samokontrolo. Bolj specifično nas je zanimalo, ali bodo implicitna prepričanja o (ne)omejenosti virov samokontrole ublažila učinke različnih stopenj ego izčrpanosti na samokontrolo. Dodatno smo preverili tudi, kako se dispozicijska samokontrola povezuje s študijsko uspešnostjo študentov. V eksperimentu je sodelovalo 111 študentov (98,2 % žensk) prvega letnika različnih smeri Filozofske ter Pedagoške fakultete Univerze v Mariboru. Udeležence smo naključno razdelili v tri skupine; eno kontrolno ter dve eksperimentalni skupini. Eksperimentalni skupini sta med eksperimentom reševali več nalog, ki so zahtevale samokontrolo, medtem ko so udeleženci kontrolne skupine reševali naloge, ki samokontrole niso zahtevale. Situacijska samokontrola je bila ocenjena s pomočjo Stroopove interference ter številom točk na nalogi sposobnosti odložitve nagrade. Poleg tega so vsi udeleženci rešili še kratko lestvico samokontrole ter lestvico prepričanj o moči volje. Rezultati so pokazali, da imajo prepričanja o moči volje različne učinke ob različnih stopnjah ego izčrpanosti. Pri skupini z zmerno ego izčrpanostjo so prepričanja o moči volje ublažila učinke ego izčrpanosti na posledično samokontrolo, medtem ko pri skupini z visoko ego izčrpanostjo teh učinkov ni bilo. Hkrati smo ugotovili tudi, da se prepričanja o moči volje v skupini z visoko ego izčrpanostjo pomembno znižajo tekom eksperimenta. Dodatno smo ugotovili še, da se dispozicijska samokontrola pozitivno povezuje z akademsko uspešnostjo. Ugotovitve kažejo, da imajo psihološki faktorji, kot so prepričanja o moči volje, pomembno vlogo pri sposobnosti samokontrole, vendar le ob zmerni ego izčrpanosti. Ob visoki ego izčrpanosti psihološki faktorji, kot so prepričanja o moči volje, več ne omilijo negativnih učinkov ego izčrpanosti na samokontrolo.

Title:INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES AND THE EGO DEPLETION EFFECT: THE EFFECT OF IMPLICIT BELIEFS ON SELF-CONTROL
Abstract:The aim of the study was to gain insight into the concepts of situational and dispositional self-control and to examine the effects of implicit theories (beliefs about willpower) on ego depletion and subsequent self-control. More specifically, we wanted to examine whether the beliefs about willpower could attenuate the effects of ego depletion at different levels. Additionally, we also examined the relationship between dispositional self-control and academic performance of the students. We included 111 (98.2% females) first year students of the Faculty of Arts and Faculty of Education, University of Maribor, into the study. Students were randomly assigned to one of the three groups; one control group and two experimental groups. The participants in the experimental groups solved several tasks that required self-control. The tasks completed by the participants in the control group did not require self-control. Situational self-control was assessed with interference on the Stroop task and a delayed gratification task. Additionally, all of the participants completed the short scale of self-control and the willpower beliefs scale. Based on our results we concluded that the beliefs about willpower have different effects at different levels of ego depletion. In the group with mild ego depletion, the effects of beliefs about willpower indeed attenuated the effects of ego depletion on self-control. On the other hand, when ego depletion was high, the protective effects of beliefs about willpower were no longer present. Furthermore, we found that, when ego depletion is high, the beliefs about unlimited willpower significantly diminish during the experiment. Moreover, the results also showed that dispositional self-control is associated positively with academic performance. Our findings show that psychological factors, such as beliefs about willpower, have an important role in self-control ability, but only when ego depletion is mild. In the case of extensive ego depletion, those factors do not attenuate the negative effects of ego depletion on self-control any longer.
