First, grittier participants are more willing to risk failing to complete a task by persisting on individual items. Second, when they...
متن کاملWhen the going gets tough the beautiful get going: aesthetic appeal facilitates task performance
The current studies examined the effect of aesthetic appeal on performance.

In three studies, we assessed individual differences in depletion sensitivity, and demonstrate that depl...
