这项研究考察了将生理唤醒解释为对练习和实际研究生记录考试(GRE)成绩的挑战反应的好处。准备参加GRE考试的参与者向实验室报到，进行GRE练习研究。被分配到重新评估条件的参与者被告知唤醒可以改善表现，而对照组参与者没有得到这一信息。我们收集了基线和评估操作后的唾液样本，然后检测唾液α淀粉酶(SAA)，这是一种衡量交感神经系统激活的指标。重新评估参与者的SAA显著增加，并且在GRE-数学部分的表现优于对照组。一到三个月后，参与者回到实验室，提供他们实际GRE的成绩报告。再一次，重新评估的参与者在GRE-数学部分的得分高于对照组。这些发现说明了评估在实验室内外对生理和表现的强大影响。
This research examined the benefits of interpreting physiological arousal as a challenge response on practice and actual Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores. Participants who were preparing to take the GRE reported to the laboratory for a practice GRE study. Participants assigned to a reappraisal condition were told arousal improves performance, whereas control participants were not given this information. We collected saliva samples at baseline and after the appraisal manipulation, which were then assayed for salivary alpha amylase (sAA), a measure of sympathetic nervous system activation. Reappraisal participants exhibited a significant increase in sAA and outperformed controls on the GRE-math section. One to three months later, participants returned to the lab and provided their score reports from their actual GRE. Again, reappraisal participants scored higher than controls on the GRE-math section. These findings illuminate the powerful influence appraisal has on physiology and performance both in and out of the laboratory.
