Obhi Wilfrid Laurier University Power dynamics are a ubiquitous feature of human social life, yet little is known about how power is implemented in the brain. Motor resonance is the activation of similar brain networks when acting and when watching someone else act, and is thought to be implemented, in part, by the human mirror system. We investigated the effects of power on motor resonance during an action observation task. Separate groups of participants underwent a high-, neutral, or low-power induction priming procedure, prior to observing the actions of another person. During observation, motor resonance was determined with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) via measures of motor cortical output. High-power participants demonstrated lower levels of resonance than low-power participants, suggesting reduced mirroring of other people in those with power. These differences suggest that decreased motor resonance to others’ actions might be one of the neural mechanisms underlying power-induced asymmetries in processing our social interaction partners.

    Running Head: WHAT’S SO GREAT ABOUT SELF-CONTROL? 1 What’s so great about self-control? Examining the importance of effortful self-control and temptation in predicting real-life depletion and goal attainment Marina Milyavskaya Carleton University Michael Inzlicht University of Toronto In press, Social Psychological and Personality Science Key words: self-control; temptation; goal pursuit; ego-depletion; experience-sampling CORRESPONDING AUTHOR: Marina Milyavskaya Department of Psychology, Carleton University, Loeb B550, 1125 Colonel By Drive Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K1S 5B6 [email protected] WHAT’S SO GREAT ABOUT SELF-CONTROL? 2 Abstract Self-control is typically viewed as a key ingredient responsible for effective self-regulation and personal goal attainment. This study used experience sampling, daily diary and prospective data collection to investigate the immediate and semester-long consequences of effortful self-control and temptations on depletion and goal-attainment. Results showed that goal attainment was influenced by experiences of temptations rather than by actively resisting or controlling those temptations. This study also found that simply experiencing temptations led people to feel depleted. Depletion in turn mediated the link between temptations and goal attainment, such that people who experienced increased temptations felt more depleted and thus less likely to achieve their goals. Critically, results of Bayesian analyses strongly indicate that effortful self-control was consistently unrelated to goal attainment throughout all analyses. WHAT’S SO GREAT ABOUT SELF-CONTROL? 3 What’s so great about self-control? Examining the importance of effortful self-control and temptation in predicting real-life depletion and goal attainment Self-control has been touted by scientists and the media alike as the great cure for today’s societal problems.

The present studies focus on the effects of motivation on impulsive processes, including automatic preferences for goal-disruptive stimuli and subjective reports of temptations and obstacles, contrasting them with effects on controlled processes. This is done by examining people’s implicit affective reactions in the face of goal-disruptive “temptations” (Studies 1 and 2), subjective reports of obstacles (Studies 2 and 3) and expended effort (Study 3), as well as experiences of desires and self-control in real-time using experience sampling (Study 4).

    Willpower Is Overrated Commentary of "Willpower With and Without Effort" by George Ainslie, BBS, 2020 Michael Inzlicht (University of Toronto) & Malte Friese (Saarland University) Michael Inzlicht University of Toronto Department of Psychology 1265 Military Trail Toronto, Ontario M1C 1A4 Canada Email: [email protected] Website: www.michaelinzlicht.com Tel: 416-208-4826 Malte Friese Saarland University Department of Psychology Campus A2 4 66123 Saarbrücken Germany Email: [email protected] Website: https://www.uni-saarland.de/friese Tel: +49 681 302 3196 Commentary currently in press at Behavioral and Brain Sciences Abstract Any analysis of self-regulation that focuses solely on willpower in conflict-laden situations is insufficient. Research makes clear that the best way to reach one’s goal is not to resist temptations but to avoid temptations before they arrive; it further suggests that willpower is fragile and not to be relied on; and that the best self-regulators engage in willpower remarkably seldom. Word Count Abstract: 60 Word Count Main Text: 983 Word Count References: 831 Word Count Total: 2,032 Willpower Is Overrated Ainslie analyzes the concept of willpower, which he defines as the process of foregoing small short-term rewards in favor of superior long-term rewards. Willpower, according to this view, entails cognitive conflict between two desires, typically with a passing temptation in conflict with some longstanding goal. Here, we submit that any analysis of goal-directed behavior that is restricted to such in-the-heat-of-the-moment cognitive conflict—no matter how fine-grained and valid—will inevitably miss an indispensable part of the self-regulatory process.
