Coping with an ego‐threat: Monitoring and blunting during an intelligence test

Abstract

This study investigated the predictive validity of the Miller Behavioral Style Scale (MBSS; Miller, 1987). Subjects had to work on an intelligence test. During this test, they could observe lights that informed them on how they were performing. There were two conditions: a low‐stress condition (n = 37) in which the lights always indicated that the subject was performing well, and a high‐stress condition (n.= 33) in which the lights signalled a deterioration of performance. In general, little support was found for the predictive validity of the MBSS.
