本研究的目的是测试相互矛盾的预测加工效率理论（PET）和有意识的加工假说（CPH）关于努力的作用，影响焦虑的影响高尔夫推杆任务。中等差点高尔夫球手在两种平衡条件下进行了一系列推杆，以控制所经历的焦虑水平。通过自我报告、心理生理学（心率变异性）和行为（推杆前时间和扫视目标）测量来评估每个推杆任务所付出的努力。通过推杆误差来评估性能。结果一般更支持PET的预测，而不是CPH的性能保持一些表演者，尽管增加状态焦虑和降低处理效率。这项研究的结果支持以前的研究表明，这两个理论提供了有用的理论框架，研究焦虑和运动成绩之间的关系。
The aim of this study was to test the conflicting predictions of processing efficiency theory (PET) and the conscious processing hypothesis (CPH) regarding effort's role in influencing the effects of anxiety on a golf putting task. Mid-handicap golfers made a series of putts to target holes under two counterbalanced conditions designed to manipulate the level of anxiety experienced. The effort exerted on each putting task was assessed though self-report, psychophysiological (heart rate variability) and behavioural (pre-putt time and glances at the target) measures. Performance was assessed by putting error. Results were generally more supportive of the predictions of PET rather than the CPH as performance was maintained for some performers despite increased state anxiety and a reduction in processing efficiency. The findings of this study support previous research suggesting that both theories offer useful theoretical frameworks for examining the relationship between anxiety and performance in sport.
