Higher depressive symptoms lead to an increased influence of task outcome on perceived effort ratings, showing a link to cognitive factors.
Participants rated their perceived effort on a 0–100 scale after performing physical tasks requiring force, allowing us to collect pertinent data.
Robust regression analysis was used to assess contributions of various factors, such as force and task failure, to the experience of effort.
The findings highlight the need for understanding cognitive and motor contributions to perceived effort, particularly regarding mental health implications.
