Self-regulation requires overriding a dominant response and leads to temporary self-regulatory fatigue. Existing theories of the nature and causes of self-regulatory fatigue highlight physiological substrates such as glucose, or psychological processes such as motivation, but these explanations are incomplete on their own. Historically, theories of physical fatigue demonstrate a similar pattern of useful but incomplete explanations, as recent views of physical fatigue emphasize the roles of both physiological and psychological factors. In addition to accounting for multiple inputs, these newer views also explain how fatigue can occur even in the presence of sufficient resources. Examining these newer theories of physical fatigue can serve as a foundation on which to build a more comprehensive understanding of self-regulatory fatigue that integrates possible neurobiological underpinnings of physical and self-regulatory fatigue, and suggests the possible function of self-regulatory fatigue.

自我调节疲劳的本质和“自我损耗”：身体疲劳的教训。


自我调节需要压倒主导反应，并导致暂时的自我调节疲劳。现有的关于自我调节疲劳的性质和原因的理论强调了诸如葡萄糖之类的生理基础，或者诸如动机之类的心理过程，但这些解释本身并不完整。从历史上看，身体疲劳理论展示了类似的有用但不完整的解释模式，因为最近对身体疲劳的观点强调了生理和心理因素的作用。除了考虑多种输入之外，这些新观点还解释了即使在资源充足的情况下也会出现疲劳的情况。检查这些新的身体疲劳理论可以作为建立对自我调节疲劳更全面理解的基础，整合身体和自我调节疲劳可能的神经生物学基础，并提出自我调节疲劳的可能功能。
