Description
We used a cognitive task to induce ego depletion, defined as the loss of self-control subsequent to exercising control. After depletion, we tested prayer as a possible replenisher for lost self-control. Although prayer failed to buffer depletion, results provided additional support for a positive relationship between self-reported religiosity/spirituality and self-control.
