Figures & data
Figure 1. Effect of the public speaking task on the salivary cortisol response in the two groups exposed to either high or low social-evaluation. The x-axis shows time in minutes in relation to the onset of the speaking task (time 0), the y-axis shows the log transformed mean cortisol values (nmol/l). S-EV, social evaluation. The error bars shown are standard errors of mean. The number of subjects in each group was n = 40.
Figure 2. (a) and (b) Effect of public speaking on salivary cortisol concentration in relation to the eight experimental groups. The x-axis shows time in minutes in relation to the onset of the speaking task (time 0), the y-axis shows the log transformed mean cortisol values (nmol/l). To increase readability, (a) shows the effects within the S-Ev-h condition, while (b) shows the effects within the S-Ev-l condition. S-EV, social evaluation; EI, ego involvement; ATT, attention; h, high; l, low; u, undivided; d, divided. To increase readability, no error bars are shown. The number of subjects in each group is shown next to the group label.
