Abstract

It is premature to regard the ego-depletion effect as "Too Incredible".

Highlights

Edited by: Simine Vazire, Washington University in St
Individuals are able to exert self-control, but only for a limited period after which capacity declines leading to reduced self-control capacity; a state known as ego-depletion
Carter and McCullough (2013) recently applied analyses aimed at testing for publication bias to our data including Schimmack’s (2012) incredibility index and two regression techniques (Egger et al, 1997; Moreno et al, 2009)

Summary

Introduction

Edited by: Simine Vazire, Washington University in St. Louis, USA Reviewed by: E. Our meta-analysis of published ego-depletion studies computed a medium-sized effect (d = 0.62) across 198 tests (Hagger et al, 2010). Carter and McCullough (2013) recently applied analyses aimed at testing for publication bias to our data including Schimmack’s (2012) incredibility index and two regression techniques (Egger et al, 1997; Moreno et al, 2009).
