I’m not going to believe an experiment, especially an experiment whose conclusion goes against scientific consensus. However, I’d believe a review article that tells me how psychologists interpreted the experiment and the investigations that followed it. There’s much more weight of evidence in a review article—many experiments rather than one, and an expert’s conclusions based upon them.
I hope, though, that my belief changes somehow after seeing the experiment—enough to think it worth my time to look up a review, perhaps.
Indeed willpower is not a expendable resource. Neither success and hapiness nor resting will regain willpower (unless you believe it to be so). Need a study break to refresh? Maybe not, say Stanford researchers
