Threatened to distraction Mind-wandering as a consequence of stereotype threat (2011, background): “For example, Parks-Stamm, Gollwitzer, and Oettingen (2009) discovered that instructions to ignore external distractions were more effective at shielding academic performance from interference than instructions to respond to external distractions by increasing effort on the task.”
Effective regulation of affect: An action control perspective on emotion regulation (2012, background): “…with particular psychological problems (typically high levels of anxiety, e.g., Schweiger Gallo et al., 2009) or subdivided participants into those with and without psychological problems (e.g., Parks-Stamm et al., 2010, divided participants into those with high versus low levels of test anxiety).”
Weakness of the will: Is a quick fix possible? (2014, background): “For instance, for individuals high on test anxiety using implementation intentions that increase the focus on the ongoing task (i.e., doing well on an achievement test) was demonstrated to be harmful to task performance (Parks-Stamm et al. 2010).”
