The strength model of self-regulation uses a muscle analogy to explain patterns of ego depletion, conservation of willpower, and improved performance after frequent exercise. Our 2007 overview of the literature has been well cited, presumably because of the phenomenon's importance to theories of selfhood and a wide assortment of applied contexts, including problem behaviors. Some researchers have put forward rival theoretical accounts, and others have questioned the existence of the phenomenon. The weight of evidence continues to support the usefulness of the strength model, albeit amid continuing updates and revisions.
自我调节的强度模型使用肌肉类比来解释自我损耗、意志力节约和频繁锻炼后表现提高的模式。我们 2007 年对文献的综述被广泛引用,大概是因为这一现象对自我理论和广泛的应用背景(包括问题行为)很重要。一些研究人员提出了竞争理论解释,其他人则质疑这一现象的存在。尽管存在持续的更新和修订,但证据的权重仍然支持强度模型的有用性。
