General Introduction<br />
influence process when self-control ability is high, or when one is motivated to become<br />
efficient in the use of remaining resources when self-control ability is not optimal. By<br />
addressing the ability and motivational aspects of self-control, and focusing on the role<br />
of self-regulation in both compliance with as well as resistance to persuasive requests,<br />
this dissertation provides an integrative perspective on the dynamics behind resisting<br />
and yielding to social influence.<br />
In <strong>Chapter</strong> 5, the theoretical and practical implications and contributions of the empirical<br />
findings, as presented in <strong>Chapter</strong>s 2 – 4, will be discussed, as well as some limitations<br />
and directions for future research. To conclude the present chapter, an overview of the<br />
three empirical chapters of this dissertation is presented below. All these chapters are<br />
based on articles that have been published or have been submitted for publication in<br />
academic journals. Since these articles were written in collaboration with others, the<br />
authors will be referred to as ‘we’. The chapters can be read independently from each<br />
other, therefore there may exist some overlap.<br />
