Objective: This bibliometric review of studies on ego depletion aims to present the intellectual framework, publications, authors, and their research fronts.
Method: To analyze the collected data, we conducted descriptive analysis and exploratory factor analysis (using SPSS) and bibliographic coupling network analysis (using UCINET).
Originality/Relevance: Several researches addressing ego depletion have been published, however, there are no bibliometric studies that document theoretical currents and main investigators of ego depletion. Thus, it is understood that the contribution expected by the authors is unprecedented.
Results: We observed that several empirical studies address the effects of ego depletion on behaviors in the work environment, on the performance of athletes in different sports, and on executive functioning, through the expressive suppression of emotions. In addition to theoretical articles that address the underlying mechanisms of ego depletion are highlighted.
Theoretical/methodological contributions: These topics found in this research arise as current research agendas and possible trends for future studies. The main contribution of this article is to guide researchers in the field on the hot topics of research that enable contributions to the literature on ego depletion.
