Results show that people with incremental beliefs have higher gpa. Example is also that athletes ush harder because they know they can push beyond exhaustion. People who do easy tasks have less mistakes. But then were given a exhausting task then had to do easy task again and made more mistakes. Results show that those who think they are tired from last tasl do worse on the next task. But only of they believe willpower is limited. When people believe that will power is unlimited it causes people to overuse their resources on a task. People who think will power is limited conserve their will powder. But the results show that people who think that will power is unlimited still do better on tasks. Glucose improves self control performance for those who believe willpower is unlimited.
