The strength model suggests that self-control relies on a limited resource. One candidate for this resource is glucose. Counter to the proposals of the glucose hypothesis, this study argues that the resource issue is one of allocation, not of limited supply. It addresses the argument from three perspectives: the evolution of mental processes at the species level, the adaptation of these same processes at the individual level, and the physiology of glucose transport. It is argued here that the brain has both sufficient resources and resource delivery mechanisms with which to support self-control but that these resources are allocated in accordance with personal priorities. As an alternative to the limited resource model, the current study proposes a resource-allocation model of self-control and presents several testable hypotheses.
力量模型表明，自我控制依赖于一种有限的资源。这种资源的一个候选者是葡萄糖。与葡萄糖假说的提议相反，本研究认为资源问题是分配问题，而不是供应有限的问题。它从三个角度探讨了这个问题：物种水平上心理过程的进化、这些过程在个体水平上的适应，以及葡萄糖运输的生理学。这里的论点是，大脑既有足够的资源，也有资源分配机制来支持自我控制，但这些资源是根据个人的优先事项来分配的。作为对有限资源模型的替代，本研究提出了自我控制的资源分配模型，并提出了几个可检验的假设。
