 Inzlicht and Schmeichel win Best Paper Award

Dear Colleagues:

The International Social Cognition Network is delighted to announce the winner of the 2012 Best Social Cognition Paper Award. The award goes to Michael Inzlicht and Brandon Schmeichel for their paper entitled “What is ego depletion? A mechanistic revision of the resource model of self-control,” published in Perspectives on Psychological Science.

The award committee, consisting of Ayelet Fishbach, Rob Holland, and myself, chose this paper from among many excellent submissions. The committee all felt that the research offers a decisive theoretical advance for our understanding of how self control operates. In particular, the article offers an original process-based account of ego-deletion phenomena and sheds new light on the conditions under which self-control is likely to be successful and when it may fail. As such, this paper exemplifies in an outstanding fashion the value of the social cognition approach for psychological research.

The work will be presented at the upcoming Social Cognition Preconference during the next SPSP meeting (February 13, 2014 in Austin, TX).

Mickey and Brandon, congratulations!

Keith Payne
Chair, ISCON Best Paper award committee
