Details

Procedure. The data were collected over nine years in the Personality, Motivation and Cognition laboratory at Northwestern, as part of a series of studies examining the effects of personality and situational factors on motivational state and subsequent cognitive performance. In each of 38 studies, prior to any manipulation of motivational state, participants signed a consent form and in some studies, consumed 0 or 4mg/kg of caffeine. In caffeine studies, they waited 30 minutes and then filled out the MSQ as well as other personality trait measures (e.g. the Big 5 adjectives)
