The joint impact of mood state and task difficulty on cardiovascular and electrodermal reactivity in active coping.
An experiment with N = 56 university students investigated the joint effects of manipulated mood state and task difficulty on cardiovascular and electrodermal reactivity during mood inductions and performance on a letter cancellation task. We tested our theory-based prediction that moods per se do not involve autonomic adjustments whereas mood and task difficulty interact during task performanc...
متن کاملTrait self-focused attention, task difficulty, and effort-related cardiovascular reactivity.
Using motivational intensity theory as a framework, the present experiment examined how individual differences in self-focused attention interact with task difficulty to predict effort, assessed via cardiovascular reactivity. Participants (n = 50) worked on a cognitive task fixed at an easy, medium, or hard level of difficulty, and individual differences in private self-consciousness and self-r...
متن کاملPersonality effects on cardiovascular reactivity: need for closure moderates the impact of task difficulty on engagement-related myocardial beta-adrenergic activity.
An experiment assessed the joint effect of dispositional need for closure (NFC) and task difficulty on engagement-related myocardial beta-adrenergic activity. Participants who scored either low or high on the NFC scale performed an ambiguous categorization task with either low or high difficulty. Confirming the theory-derived predictions, task difficulty effects on pre-ejection period (PEP) rea...
متن کاملImpact of a motivated performance task on autonomic and hemodynamic cardiovascular reactivity.
Motivated performance (MP) tasks include mental stressors characterized by a high degree of motivation, individual engagement, and sympathetic overstimulation. It is therefore important to document the independent influence of motivation apart from engagement on markers of cardiovascular autonomic modulation, including vasomotor tone (low-frequency systolic blood pressure, LFSBP), blood pressur...
متن کاملThe Impact of Motivation and Task Difficulty on Resource Engagement: Differential Influences on Cardiovascular Responses of Young and Older Adults
This study examined whether the level of cognitive engagement that older adults were willing to invest was disproportionately influenced by the personal implications of their task, as suggested by selective engagement theory. We experimentally altered the personal implications of a task by manipulating participants’ accountability for their performance. Younger (n 50) and older (n 50) adults pe...
