Abstract

The current study is summarized by the concept of ego depletion, which is a state of diminishing sources of psychological energy resulting from extravagance in establishing self-control or when facing difficulty or distraction in attention, which leads to inability to self-control and a feeling of exhaustion. The aim of the research is to build a scale for ego depletion among students of the University of Mosul, on a sample of (400) male and female students using a random method. social, emotional depletion, cognitive depletion), The apparent validity was extracted, and thus the scale was presented to a group of experts in educational and psychological sciences, the construction validity. As for the discriminatory power of the paragraphs, the calculated t-values ranged between (2,116 - 21,033) and it is greater than the tabular t-value (1.96), and thus all the paragraphs are distinguished. The stability was also extracted by methods (testing and re-testing, and the value of the correlation coefficient was (0.83)), the alpha coefficient was (0.82), the internal consistency ranged between (0.102 - 0.92), until the number of paragraphs of the scale became in its final form (67). Thus, the maximum expected degree for the individual on the ego depletion scale is (134) and the lowest expected degree (zero) with a hypothetical average (67).
