Abstract
Two experiments (N = 228) tested whether personal choice vs. external assignment of task characteristics moderates the effect of aversive acoustic noise on effort-related cardiovascular response. A priori 3:1 contrast analyses supported our hypothesis: Personal choice can indeed shield against noise effects on effort-related responses in the cardiovascular system.
