Abstract
Visceral states are known to reduce the ability to exert self-control. In the current research, we investigated how self-control

is affected by a visceral factor associated with inhibition rather than with approach: bladder control. We designed four studies

to test the hypothesis that inhibitory signals are not domain-specific but can spill over to unrelated domains, resulting in

increased impulse control in the behavioral domain. In Study 1, participants’ urination urgency correlated with performance on

color-naming but not word-meaning trials of a Stroop task. In Studies 2 and 3, we found that higher levels of bladder pressure

resulted in an increased ability to resist impulsive choices in monetary decision making. We found that inhibitory spillover

effects are moderated by sensitivity of the Behavioral Inhibition System (Study 3) and can be induced by exogenous cues

(Study 4). Implications for inhibition and impulse-control theories are discussed.
