Setbacks As Self-Control Replenishment in Consumer Goal Pursuit
This research investigates the effect of setbacks in goal pursuit. Extending the literature on self-control as a resource, we propose that occasional setbacks can be seen as a chance for replenishment, resulting in longer term goal-consistent behaviors. The frequency and duration of the setback will be studied as potential moderators.
