Abstract

We report a pre-registered adversarial collaboration between a proponent and a critic of the ego-depletion effect. Across six independent labs (N = 2,141), we find a pooled effect of d = 0.04 (95% CI: −0.03, 0.11), indistinguishable from zero. A Bayesian model-comparison strongly favors the null hypothesis.
