Does high perceived control over aversive noise reduce cardiovascular reactivity in undergraduates performing a video game task?
High perceived control over aversive noise during an effortful task reduces systolic blood pressure and total peripheral resistance reactivity.
Weinstein et al. (2002) studied Cardiovascular reactivity (n=32). High perceived control over aversive noise vs. Low perceived control was evaluated on Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and total peripheral resistance (TPR). High perceived control over aversive noise during an effortful video game task significantly reduced systolic blood pressure and total peripheral resistance reactivity compared to low perceived control.
