This study examined the effects of a self-talk intervention on selective attention in a state of ego depletion. Participants were 62 undergraduate students with a mean age of 20.02 years (SD = 1.17). The experiment was conducted in four consecutive sessions. Following baseline assessment, participants were randomly assigned into experimental and control groups. A two-session training was conducted for the two groups, with the experimental group using self-talk. In the final assessment, participants performed a selective attention test, including visual and auditory components, following a task inducing a state of ego depletion. The analysis showed that participants of the experimental group achieved a higher percentage of correct responses on the visual test and produced faster reaction times in both the visual and the auditory test compared with participants of the control group. The results of this study suggest that the use of self-talk can benefit selective attention for participants in states of ego depletion.
本研究考察了自我谈话干预对自我耗竭状态下选择性注意的影响。参与者为 62 名平均年龄为 20.02 岁（标准差=1.17）的本科生。实验在四个连续的阶段进行。在基线评估后，参与者被随机分配到实验组和对照组。两组都进行了两次训练，实验组使用自我谈话。在最后的评估中，参与者在完成一项会导致自我耗竭的任务后，进行了包括视觉和听觉成分的选择性注意测试。分析表明，与对照组相比，实验组的参与者在视觉测试中获得了更高的正确反应百分比，并且在视觉和听觉测试中产生了更快的反应时间。本研究的结果表明，在自我耗竭状态下，使用自我谈话可以有益于参与者的选择性注意。
