Contemporary debates concerning the attentional blink (AB) question whether resource depletion causes this robust attentional deficit. To investigate this uncertainty, we employed rapid serial visual presentation paradigms that presented stimuli at 30-120msec/item. In addition to the two targets of interest, a third target was positioned immediately before the second target on ’three-target’ tr...

Employees are getting less sleep, which has been shown to deplete self-regulatory resources and increase unethical behavior (Barnes, Schaubroeck, Huth, & Ghumman, 2011; Christian & Ellis, 2011). In this study, we extend the original mediated model by examining the role of 2 moderators in the relationship between sleep deprivation, depletion, and deceptive behavior. First, we derive psychologica...

The depletion of non-renewable natural resources (primarily mineral and energy resources) its assessment is a problem that analyzed based on the concept sustainable development. Mineral resource particularly important for resource-based economies. It provides assessing impact asset disposal results from suspension or termination operations conducted by mining company due to insurmountable circu...

The human mind is quite adept at modifying and regulating thoughts, judgments, and behaviors. Recent research has demonstrated that depletion of self-regulatory resources can impair executive function through restriction of working memory capacity. The current work explored whether the mere perception of resource depletion (i.e., illusory fatigue) is sufficient to directly produce these deficit...

The limited resource or strength model of self-control posits that the use of self-regulatory resources leads to depletion and poorer performance on subsequent self-control tasks. We conducted four studies (two with community samples, two with young adult samples) utilizing a frequently used depletion procedure (crossing out letters protocol) and the two most frequently used dependent measures ...

a r t i c l e i n f o What effects do motivation and beliefs have on self-control? We tested this question using a limited resource paradigm, which generally has found that people show poor self-control after prior exertions of self-control. Recent findings have suggested that motivation and even belief in unlimited willpower can render persons immune to ego depletion. We replicated those findi...

The biodiversity-rich primary forest of Cote d’Ivoire has been substantially converted into a mosaic secondary forests, cash and lumber plantations, food crops, timber wasteland. Deforestation started even before independence but increased dramatically in the last three decades, resulting loss most country’s biodiversity. It is essential to have information about condition natural resources fol...
