Strength Model of Self-Regulation as Limited Resource
R.F. Baumeister, K.D. Vohs, in Advances in Experimental Social Psychology, 2016
4.2 Final Remarks
Folk wisdom has long invoked the notion of willpower as a key ingredient for successful self-control and self-discipline, suggesting that energy is consumed in such acts of volition. Psychological theory dispensed with energy models for decades. Skepticism and even hostility toward explaining self-regulation in energy terms are to be expected. Yet the alternative versions generally have large conceptual gaps that cannot be filled without subtly reintroducing the idea of depleted energy resources, or at least resources of some sort. The traditional folk notion of willpower as a limited supply of energy that fuels effort and virtue has proven surprisingly durable, and if updated with new findings, it still forms the basis for a promising scientific account of human volition.
