Many contextual and individual difference variables have been found to influence the SoA. Here, we focused on elucidating the potential relationship between psychosocial stress and the SoA across two studies. Psychosocial stress was induced via the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) and agency was assessed in a task involving production of a voluntary action that resulted in an auditory effect 100 ms, 400 ms or 700 ms later. In Study 1, we used an explicit self-reported measure of agency in the form of a perception of control rating, and in Study 2 we used an implicit measure of agency in the form of temporal estimates of the interval between an action and an effect, so called intentional binding (IB). The results of Study 1 (explicit) showed that undergoing the TSST relative to a control condition increased SoA for outcomes that occur after a 700 ms delay. However, this effect was weak and did not survive correction for multiple comparisons. In Study 2 (IB), temporal estimates in the stress condition were significantly shorter than those in the control condition, exclusively for action-effect time delays of 700 ms. We conclude that this increased IB for 700 ms delays after induction of psychosocial stress reflects a potential “stress-enabled agency boost”, and that such an agency boost might be associated with the fight-or-flight stress response. Directions for future research are suggested.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51358,"journal":{"name":"Consciousness and Cognition","volume":"131 ","pages":"Article 103872"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143887640","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conversely, feedback on task progression and the feeling of being monitored increased self-reported MW, possibly reflecting participant self-awareness due to contextual distractions.

These findings highlight the potential of performance feedback to reduce the negative effects of MW on task performance in an online setting.

We address this question across two studies. In Study 1, young (<em>n</em> = 42) and older (<em>n</em> = 45) adults completed response time tasks with non-predictive direct gaze cues and predictive direct gaze cues, designed to index reflexive and volitional covert attentional orienting to direct gaze, respectively. The results showed that young and older adults equivalently shifted their attention to predictive direct gaze cues but did not shift their attention to non-predictive direct gaze cues. Study 2 was designed to assess whether this orienting to predictive direct gaze was unique to direct gaze. A separate independent sample of young (<em>n</em> = 43) and older (<em>n</em> = 44) adults completed response time tasks with predictive direct gaze cues, predictive averted gaze cues, and predictive non-social (line orientation) cues. Attention was shifted to direct gaze but neither averted gaze nor line orientation, suggesting direct gaze was unique in being voluntarily attended-to. Pooling the predictive direct gaze task data across Studies 1 and 2, we found that young and older adults both oriented to the direct gaze cues, but that this orienting effect was reduced among older adults. The findings presented here provide novel insights into how direct gaze cues uniquely capture attention in younger and older age, and show for the first time that voluntary orienting to direct gaze is reduced in older adults.
