Is self-confidence a bias factor in higher-order catastrophe models? An exploratory analysis

Article Abstract:

Hardy's (1990, 1996a) proposition that self-confidence might act as the bias factor in a butterfly catastrophe model of stress and performance is examined. A series of two-way (Cognitive Anxiety * Somatic Anxiety) ANOVAs was conducted on each self-confidence condition that revealed a higher level of somatic anxiety for the high self-confidence condition than for the low self-confidence condition.
