- W89393041 abstract "AbstractThe purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of olfactory ovulation cues (i.e., female body odors) on a range of psychological, physiological, and behavioral indices in males during an exertive motor task. Eighty-eight male participants performed a handgrip squeezing task at 20% of maximum squeezing capacity to volitional fatigue. There were three conditions to the study: control, placebo, and ovulation. Researchers recoded participants' rate of perceived exertion (RPE), attention allocation, heart rate (HR), and skin conductance response (SCR). Multivariate analysis did not reveal significant differences among the groups. However, as task duration increased, small to large effect sizes (Cohen's d; d = .13 - .60) emerged between the ovulation and both the control and placebo groups for HR, SCR, and attention allocation. Effect size magnitude suggests female ovulation cues may have a delayed effect on males' attention and RPE during an exertive task. Future research should focus on alternative methods of collection and distribution of olfactory ovulation cues. To increase ecological validity, research also needs to test these effects by means of diverse tasks and settings (aerobic tasks, team tasks).Keywords: exercise, body odor, attention, perceived exertionIntroductionThe use of two broad attentional strategies, association and dissociation, helps coping with exertive stimuli (Tenenbaum, 2001). Associative strategies entail directing attentional focus to internal and bodily cues, whereas dissociative strategies entail directing attentional focus outward and away from bodily cues (Tenenbaum, 2001; 2005). Empirical evidence suggests that during performance on physical tasks, individuals alternate between associative and dissociative strategies (Lind, Welch, & Ekkekakis, 2009). The latter is effortless at low-moderate workload intensities; nonetheless, associative strategies tend to prevail above sub-maximal intensities (Lind et al., 2009; Tenenbaum, 2001). This phenomenon, i.e., the attention shift, accounts for the tendency to shift attention from dissociative (e.g., non-task related stimuli) to associative (e.g., task related stimuli) focus as a function of the physical workload (Tenenbaum, 2001).In an effort to increase exercise adherence, recent studies have examined the relationship between environmental stimuli and task performance (Connolly & Tenenbaum, 2010; Hutchinson & Tenenbaum, 2007; Razon, Basevitch, Land, Thompson, & Tenenbaum, 2009; Tenenbaum, 2005). Findings from these revealed that presentation of external stimuli (e.g., visual and auditory cues) mediates attention shift, perceived exertion, and consequently, influences task enjoyment (e.g., perceived hedonic and functionality tones) and task adherence.However, scant research within the exercise psychology domain has addressed the relationship between olfactory stimuli, attention allocation, and performance on physical tasks. Among these, Raudenbush, Corley, and Eppich (2001) investigated the effect of olfactory stimuli (i.e., peppermint) on a range of physical tasks (e.g., handgrip, push-ups, and running) to determine whether task performance improves under olfactory conditions. Similarly, Basevitch et al. (2011) concluded that peppermint and lavender cues may affect attention diversion and mediate performance in physical tasks (Basevitch et al., 2011). Noteworthy, although these tested the impact of synthetic olfactory stimuli (e.g., peppermint, lavender) on select behavioral outcomes, no research has examined the impact of natural olfactory stimuli during physical tasks. This study is an initial attempt to investigate the impact of females' ovulation cues on a set of performance variables in males during a physical task. This initiative is congruent with previous research suggesting that women's natural scents affect endocrinological responses in men (Miller & Maner, 2011) most probably because body odors activate the amygdala region, which, in turn, excites dopaminergic arcuate neurons involved in the regulation of sexual behavior (Dulac & Kimchi, 2007). …" @default.
