To be successful at self-regulation, individuals must be able to resist impulses and desires. The strength model of self-regulation suggests that when self-regulatory capacity is depleted, self-control deficits result from a failure to engage top-down control mechanisms. Using functional neuroimaging, we examined changes in brain activity in response to viewing desirable foods among 31 chronic ...

background: fear of falling is not only a risk factor for falls, but it is also an important clinical predictor of functional decline in older adults. this study identified sex differences in fear of falling and related factors in older adults with low grip strength. methods: the data of 902 older adults from the 2012 korean national survey, conducted as a research project by the korea employme...

Individuals frequently exhibit positive illusions about their own abilities, their possibilities to control their environment, and future expectations. The authors propose that positive illusions require resources of self-control, which is considered to be a limited resource similar to energy or strength. Five studies revealed that people with depleted self-regulatory resources indeed exhibited...

Aggressive impulses arise from many factors, but they are usually held in check by social norms for self-control. Thus, the proximal cause of aggression is often failure of self-restraint. In Wve studies, depleted capacity for self-regulation (caused by prior, even irrelevant acts of self-regulation) increased aggressive responding, especially after an insulting provocation. When participants w...

in this paper, dissimilar resistance spot welding of aisi 1075 eutectoid steel to aisi 201 stainless steel is investigated experimentally. for this purpose, the experiments are designed using response surface methodology and based on four-factor, five-level central composite design. the effects of process parameters such as welding current, welding time, cooling time and electrode force are inv...

introduction: ski is a fast sport with a high risk of falling. the purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship of core strength with static and dynamic balance in snowboarders. materials and methods: forty male athletes participated in this study with a history activity of at least 6 seasons in snowboard skiing sport (mean age 26.85±3.30yr, height 180.45±6.08cm, weight 79.86±6.14kg...

objective: among the various impression materials, for alginate tear strength is probably more important than the compressive strength. the tear strength is important when an impression involves a mechanical undercut and/or lacks bulk strength to resist tearing. this study evaluated tear strength of iralgin and compared it with tear strength of alginoplast. methods: in this invitro experimental...
