Abstract
There are specific and nonspecific approaches to explaining diversity of metacognitive experiences in psychological testing. The study is concerned with verification of the effects of a nonspecific approach, according to which there is a nonspecific signal about the success of task performance behind metacognitive experiences. Unidirectional changes in experiencing confidence and control sense were expected to be revealed. The findings showed that correct answers were given with more confidence than wrong ones, confident correct answers were given faster than unconfident correct ones, straightforward cases were handled with a high level of confidence and more sense of control if long time was given to think them over. The study failed in demonstrating unidirectional character of control sense and confidence in other conditions, which can be explained by insufficient sensitivity of the technique chosen to measure control sense.
