Studies on self-regulation have shown that depletion leads to more heuristic-based decision making. It was hypothesized that depletion would not affect decisions for others the way it affects decisions for the self because deciding for others is already a heuristic-based process. Participants completed two depleting tasks and then made decisions for themselves or a friend. The results indicated that depletion did not affect decisions for others, but depletion did not affect decisions for the self, either. However, post-hoc analyses showed that depletion did influence how long participants spent making their decisions. Given these results, alternative explanations are proposed. Finally, study limitations and future directions are discussed. en Wake Forest University decision making decisions for others depletion self-regulation Self-Regulation in Decisions for the Self Versus Others Thesis Stone, Eric R Clarke, Philip B Masicampo, E J Psychology open.access
