Individual differences in action-state orientation moderate task difficulty effects on effort-related cardiac response

Yann S. Bouzidi et al.

Summary: A quasi-experiment was conducted on 100 university students to investigate whether individual differences in action-state orientation moderate the effects of task difficulty on resource mobilization, as assessed by cardiovascular response. The study found that action-oriented individuals exhibited stronger effort-related cardiovascular responses in difficult tasks, while state-oriented individuals showed the same responses in easy tasks. The findings provide empirical evidence of a link between action-state orientation and effort-related responses in the cardiovascular system.

Is cognitive conflict really effortful? Conflict priming and shielding effects on cardiac response

Yann S. Bouzidi et al.

Summary: Two experiments with university students found that cognitive conflict increased cardiac response, but this effect disappeared when participants could choose task characteristics.

Can personal task choice shield against fear and anger prime effects on effort? A study on cardiac response

David Framorando et al.

Summary: This experiment examined whether personal task choice can protect against implicit affective influences on cardiovascular response during task performance. The results showed that when tasks were externally assigned, there was an effect of affect primes on effort. However, when participants were given a task choice, this effect disappeared, suggesting that personal task choice can shield against implicit affective influences.

Task choice shields against incidental affective influences on effort-related cardiovascular response

Johanna R. Falk et al.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of personal task choice and affective factors on effort-related cardiovascular response. The findings indicate that when participants are able to choose their tasks, they exhibit low receptivity to incidental affective influences and strong action shielding. In contrast, participants assigned to tasks show high receptivity to incidental affective influences, with strong cardiovascular reactivity when exposed to happy music and low responses when exposed to sad music. The results suggest that personal task choice can immunize individuals against incidental affective influences.

Incidental affective influences on effort-related cardiac response: The critical role of choosing task characteristics

Johanna R. Falk et al.

Summary: Personal choice and external assignment of task characteristics moderate the effect of incidental affective stimulation on effort-related cardiovascular response. Personal choice leads to action shielding, while external assignment maintains receptivity to affective influences.

Choosing Task Characteristics Oneself Justifies Effort: A Study on Cardiac Response and the Critical Role of Task Difficulty

Yann S. Bouzidi et al.

Summary: This experiment investigated how personal choice of task characteristics affects resource mobilization, measured through effort-related cardiac response during tasks of low and unclear difficulty. The results demonstrate that personal choice justifies higher effort, especially when task difficulty is unclear.

Task Choice Immunizes Against Incidental Affective Influences in Volition

Guido H. E. Gendolla et al.

Summary: The experiments showed that engaging in actions through personal choice or external task assignment moderates the effect of incidental affective stimulation on action control. Participants who could choose their tasks were better able to shield action control from emotional influences compared to those who were assigned tasks.
