| Abstract: | Exerting self-control appears to deplete a needed resource, which leads to poorer self-control subsequently. However, the
amount of depletion may vary, based on how controlling versus autonomy supportive the situation is. In particular, feeling
compelled to exert self-control may deplete more strength than having more freedom when exerting self-control. In three experiments,
participants who were given performance contingent rewards to exert self-control performed more poorly on a subsequent test
of self-control than participants who were non-contingent rewards. There were no differences in mood, arousal, or anxiety
between the groups; however, feelings of autonomy were related to self-control performance. The results have implications
for understanding self-control depletion, as well as the impact of autonomous motivation on self-control performance.
