Abstract

The negative effects of ego-depletion may cause the reduction of effort and performance of consecutive task, it’s important for college student to develop coping method to counteract ego-depletion and minimize the negative effects. Present research, based on former research, investigate the influence of motivation on ego-depletion via Stroop task, and put forward that internal motivation and external incentive are effective method to cope the unwanted effect of ego-depletion. The results of present research provides another empirical support for ego-depletion, and suggests that internal stimulus and external reward are effective methods to compensate ego-depletion, and inner learning has no compensatory effect on ego- depletion; External reward and external honor both are effective methods to compensate ego- depletion, meanwhile the effect is equal. Results support the reserved energy hypothesis for limited resource theory of self-control.
