Trait 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 کاملMirrors, masks, and motivation: implicit and explicit self-focused attention influence effort-related cardiovascular reactivity.
Using motivational intensity theory as a framework, three experiments examined how implicit self-focus (manipulated with masked first-name priming) and explicit self-focus (manipulated with a large mirror) influence effort-related cardiovascular activity, particularly systolic blood pressure reactivity. Theories of self-focused attention suggest that both implicit and explicit self-focus bring ...
متن کاملSelf-focused attention and emotional reactivity: the role of culture.
Research conducted with European Americans suggests that attention to the individual self intensifies emotional reactivity. We propose, however, that cultural models of the self determine which aspect of the self (individual vs. relational), when attended to, intensifies emotional reactivity. In 3 studies, we predicted and observed that attention to individual aspects of the self was associated...
متن کاملMasked first name priming increases effort-related cardiovascular reactivity.
Recent research on motivational intensity has shown that explicit manipulations of self-focused attention (e.g., mirrors and video cameras) increase effort-related cardiovascular responses during active coping. An experiment examined whether masked first name priming, an implicit manipulation of self-focused attention, had similar effects. Participants (n=52 young adults) performed a self-paced...
متن کاملAttentional effort modulated by task difficulty
It has been assumed that stimulus discrimination in a visual task is performed with fixed attentive effort. Here we show that attention to the same pair of stimuli can be modulated by varying the task difficulty when a task requires the discrimination of only a small number of different stimuli. We used a matching-to-sample paradigm, where a test stimulus is presented after a sample stimulus. W...
