  abstract = {In this paper we describe results of an experiment drawn in order to examine effects of two experimentally manipulated specific cognitions (self-efficacy and incentive value) and a non-specific cognition (personal competence) on mood state, intrinsic motivation and perceived autonomic arousal. Results show that a) the bigger the self-efficacy, the lower the increases in negative mood states (fatigue, anxiety, and sadness- anger), and the bigger the task intrinsic motivation; b) major effects of self-efficacy on mood state and autonomic arousal are conditioned to high incentive value; c) personal competence modulates the effects both self-efficacy on intrinsic motivation and incentive value on perceived autonomic arousal; and d) perceived autonomic arousal is positively linked to negative mood states but not to real physiological changes.},
