Implication

Preregistered multilab replication finds a small but significant ego depletion effect across international laboratories, indicating that self-control fatigue is real but modest.

Key Points

To evaluate the existence, size, and generality of the ego depletion effect through a large-scale, preregistered multilab replication.
Preregistered multilab replication conducted across 12 laboratories globally (N = 1,775).
Depletion was induced using the Stroop task, with subsequent performance measured via the antisaccade task.
A small but statistically significant ego depletion effect was detected across all participating laboratories (d = 0.10).
Excluding participants with suspected random responding during the outcome task increased the observed effect size to d = 0.16.
