Document Summary
We think of will power as a force that depends on energy and is a resource that can be depleted. Performing one intellectually demanding task reduced the ability to perform another. Exercising self control facilitated anger related behavior. Requires energy to stay focused and pressed anger response. Organize things in a way that you are not stressed. Wanted to test how important iq is. Used delay of gratification tests and iq tests. Controls for likelihood without needing to compute likelihood. But continues to operate when likelihood is known. Perhaps relying on implicit estimates of likelihood. Some of it is due to genetics. Aims to making sense and gaining control of citation. Study suggests talking to therapist is not effective. Actively knowing about the stereotype threat makes people do better at tasks. Also activity believing that you are as good as everyone else. Implicit group preferences is only shown in socially dominant groups.
