Blunted cardiovascular reactivity may serve as an index of psychological task disengagement in the motivated performance situations

Abstract Challenge and threat models predict that once individuals become engaged with performance, their evaluations and cardiovascular response determine further outcomes. Although the role of challenge and threat in predicting performance has been extensively tested, few studies have focused on t...
