Key result
High self-efficacy manipulated via false feedback increased systolic blood pressure response during a video game task compared to low self-efficacy (25.2 vs 17.9 mmHg; p<0.05).

Does not support altering self-efficacy interventions in practice; leaves open its role in effort-related cardiovascular reactivity.

Does increased self-efficacy increase cardiovascular response during an active coping task in women?
Absolute Event Rate: 25.2% vs 17.9%
p-value: p=< 0.05
Increased self-efficacy during a task may increase blood pressure reactivity, suggesting it acts on the effort involved in active coping.
Gerin et al. (1996) reported an RCT. High self-efficacy (manipulated via false feedback) vs. Low self-efficacy was evaluated on Systolic blood pressure (SBP) change (p=< 0.05). High self-efficacy manipulated via false feedback increased systolic blood pressure response during a video game task compared to low self-efficacy (25.2 vs 17.9 mmHg; p<0.05).
