| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study tested if stress reappraisal improves response of salivary amylase and selective attention. The following conditions were used. In the Reappraisal condition, participants received an instruction that stress is not harmful and increased arousal actually aids performance in stressful situations. In the Ignore condition, participants received an instruction that ignoring stress optimally reduces nervousness and improves outcomes. All the participants were instructed that they would be completing a stressful speech task, received the instruction corresponding to their condition, and then completed a flanker task. The results showed the interference effect and salivary amylase was reduced only in the reappraisal condition. Therefore, these findings showed that stress reappraisal improves executive function and physiological response while under stress.
