Abstract

One purpose of this study was to determine whether an incentive such as competition would cause increments in the performance of Ss with low resting heart rates and decrements in the performance of Ss with high resting heart rates. Another purpose of the study was to investigate further the hypothesis that an increase in incentive is accompanied by an increase in heart rate. The results supported the hypothesis that an increase in incentive is accompanied by an increase in heart rate and also indicated that the relationship between incentive and heart rate is not affected by resting heart rate level. No performance differences were found.
