In parallel, we conducted a second experiment to investigate if acute stress may impact the willingness to exert effort in non-threatening situations. We found no evidence that induction of acute stress altered the trade-off between physical effort and monetary rewards. (5/6)

These results may shed some light on how stress-induced changes in the trade-off between safety and conservation of energy facilitate the motivation to want to avoid aversive outcomes. Code, data, and more results (incl. comp. modelling) all in paper. (6/6)
