The self-control ability and self-control resources have a different influence on deception, but the cognition mechanism of this different influence has not been described yet. In this study, the event-related potentials (ERPs) technique was utilized to conduct two experiments exploring the effects of self-control ability and self-control resources on deception from two approaches. In Experiment 1, participants with different levels of self-control ability performed a visual perception task to measure deception and deception tendencies. The results revealed that individuals with low self-control ability exhibited more deceptive behaviors than did individuals with high self-control ability. Furthermore, individuals with high self-control ability evoked larger N2 and smaller P3 amplitudes than did individuals with low self-control ability. Experiment 2 involved selecting individuals with medium self-control ability. The Stroop task and a visual perception task were employed to investigate the influence of self-control resources on deception. The results showed that the depletion of self-control resources facilitated smaller N2 and larger P3 amplitudes than did non-depletion of self-control resources. In conclusion, these results suggest that individuals with high self-control ability are less likely to deceive others in order to obtain more benefits. When individuals have sufficient self-control resources, they resist temptation and reduce deception behaviors. Deception and deception tendencies may be more likely in people with low of self-control and whose self-control resources are depleted. In people with moderate self-control, deception was still regulated by self-depletion.

更高的自我控制，更少的欺骗：自我控制对欺骗行为的影响

自我控制能力和自我控制资源对欺骗的影响不同，但这种不同影响的认知机制尚未描述。在这项研究中，利用事件相关电位（ERPs）技术进行了两个实验，探索自我控制能力和自我控制资源对两种方法欺骗的影响。在实验 1 中，具有不同自我控制能力水平的参与者执行了一项视觉感知任务，以衡量欺骗和欺骗倾向。结果表明，自控能力低的个体比自控能力强的个体表现出更多的欺骗行为。此外，具有高自控能力的个体比自控能力低的个体诱发更大的 N2 和更小的 P3 振幅。实验2涉及选择具有中等自我控制能力的个体。Stroop 任务和视觉感知任务被用来调查自我控制资源对欺骗的影响。结果表明，自控资源的耗竭比自控资源的非耗竭促进了更小的N2和更大的P3振幅。总之，这些结果表明，自我控制能力高的人不太可能为了获得更多利益而欺骗他人。当个体拥有足够的自控资源时，他们会抵制诱惑，减少欺骗行为。自我控制能力低且自我控制资源枯竭的人更可能出现欺骗和欺骗倾向。在具有适度自我控制的人中，欺骗仍然受自我消耗的调节。
