Effects Of Self-depletion On Procrastination:the Regulatory Role Of Emotion

In modern society,people need to control themselves at many times,so in a certain sense,self-regulating ability can also be said to be the key to lead the individual to success.However,it seems that people’s ability to exercise self-regulation is not so satisfactory,and the phenomenon of failure of self-regulation is also very common.Based on this,American psychologist Baumeister and others proposed a self-loss model to explain the various kinds of problems of self-regulation and failure in the social life of human beings.The model believes that self-regulation depends on a limited amount of energy,similar to the strength of a human muscle,which,after previous self-controlled operations,can temporarily lose energy.It causes the individual to be in a state of self-depletion,which leads to a decline in the performance of the individual in the subsequent task of self-regulation.In recent years,Baumeister et al.Have expanded the self-loss model further in theory,and they believe that the limited resources they have are not only necessary for self-regulation,And the ego needs to consume this energy when it performs its various executive functions.Self-depletion is seen as a process of decline in executive function caused by the consumption of mental energy by self-activity,while studies have shown that self-control has a predictive effect on delaying behavior.Then there is a theoretical effect of self-depletion on procrastination.In addition,if there is a difference between the self-control ability of the high procrastinators and the low procrastinators,then the self-loss they produce when they control themselves should also be different,based on this,This study examined the effect of self-loss on delay in experiment.If self-depletion can aggravate the procrastination of the procrastinators,can positive emotions be used to effectively overcome these negative effects?This is another important issue of concern in this study.Therefore,on the basis of experiment one,we carried out experiment two with the aim of examining the conditions of self-depletion.By watching humorous video clips to induce the positive mood of the test can overcome the impact of self-loss on delaying behavior.The results of this study show that:(1)compared with the non-consumer-intensive group,the group was tried to delay the task for a longer period of time,showing more delays.(2)in the consumption and non-consumption groups,the high delay groups are tried to delay the general rate longer than the low delay group is tried to delay the task and show more delay.(3)the loss task produces different loss state to the high or low delay of the test,and the high delay after the loss is tested is lower,and the delay shows more delay behavior than when the test is not lost.(4)positive emotion can compensate for the loss of self,and it can promote the self control after loss.
