Abstract
Subjects experienced high or low physiological arousal via cycling exercise and then were exposed to D. L. Hamilton and T. L. Rose's (1980, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 39, 832–845) illusory correlation procedure. Arousal increased the illusory correlation effect reported by Hamilton and Rose, i.e., the tendency to overestimate the frequency of stereotypically consistent adjectives in comparison with irrelevant adjectives used to describe target individuals of different occupations. In addition, the illusory correlation occurred for frequency estimates for adjectives that had never been originally presented to subjects. Arousal did not enhance this effect, however. Theoretical mechanisms and research implications are discussed.

This chapter argues that—despite a good deal of corroborating data for some of the major contentions of distraction–conflict theory—attentional mechanisms may offer a more parsimonious account of social facilitation phenomena than does a drive perspective.

These findings were interpreted as supporting excitation-transfer theory, which posits that residual excitation enhances emotional responses to unrelated, immediately present stimuli only when the prevailing arousal cannot be attributed to its actual source.

An effect of autonomic activity on personality which is, in essence, an inverse feedback concept, is presented which is contrasted to the traditional Eppinger‐Hess concept of the sympathicotonic personality, which actually postulates a positive feedback mechanism.

Two studies are reported that show the McDonald, Harris, and Maher critique of the earlier experiment to be mistaken, and arousal-induced attention to self was demonstrated in a field setting devoid of any of the artifactual covariates of arousal induction suggested by these researchers.

Performance in keeping track of several channels of information was investigated as a function of payoff ratio, display format, stimulus on-time, load, and channel payoff value in a 4 × 2 × 2×2×2 mixed design and suggested that the greater the load on the operator and the great the disparity between high- and low-valued information, the more likely selectivity of information is to occur.
