Abstract
Cardiovascular effects of social evaluation were examined under different task conditions. In Experiment 1, systolic responses in women were greater under public than private conditions when a fixed behavioral challenge was difficult, but not when the challenge was easy. In Experiment 2, social evaluation potentiated systolic responsivity in men and women when a behavioral challenge was unfixed, but not when a behavioral challenge was fixed and easy to meet. Results are discussed in terms of a recent integrative analysis of effort and cardiovascular response as well as alternative conceptions that posit, or might be taken to imply, an association between publicity and physiologic activation.
