The moral of this story? Resisting the temptation to cheat requires cognitive effort. If you've got a lot of executive control, you probably are less likely to cheat on your partner. If you don't have a lot of cognitive resources, and you want to stay committed to your partner, you better hope you aren't attractive, rich, famous, under a lot of stress or drunk. And pray you don't check all those boxes at the same time. Or else you will really be in trouble.


Cognitive effort, eh?

Sounds to me like willpower.


Willpower is actually a limited, exhaustible resource, which fits in with the second highlight.


Even more fun, from the physiological perspective, some researchers think the point when willpower is exhausted is also the point when glucose reserves for the brain have been used up.


I like to refer to Christopher Ryan on this one;

"Just because you have decided to become a vegetarian, doesn't mean BBQ stops smelling good."


Heh?


You wanna keep on the veggies, quit hanging around the grill.

"An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field." - Niels Bohr

"Smart people believe weird things because they are skilled at defending beliefs they arrived at for non-smart reasons." - Michael Shermer

"Fair speech may hide a foul heart." - Samwise Gamgee LOTR
