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 />
