摘要

Prior research has primarily focused on the negative effects of sustained autonomy frustration and relatedness frustration on subsequent tasks. However, there is a relative scarcity of studies examining the detrimental effects of consistent competence frustration on following tasks using event-related potentials (ERPs). To explore the spillover effect of consistent competence frustration and to identify intervention strategies aimed at mitigating its adverse consequences, we designed a three-session electroencephalography(EEG) group experiment. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: a control group, a competence frustration group, and a developmental feedback group. All participants were instructed to work on the time-estimation (TE) task during sessions 1 and 2, followed by the stopwatch (SW) task in session 3. The primary distinction between the control group and the competence frustration group lay in task difficulty. Specifically, participants in the control group completed a moderately difficult TE task during sessions 1 and 2, whereas those in the competence frustration group were instructed to accomplish a highly difficult TE task that was intended to induce competence frustration. The only difference between the competence frustration group and the developmental feedback group was that participants in the developmental feedback group received developmental feedback about their performances at the end of sessions 1 and 2, while those in the competence frustration group received only standard performance feedback. In session 3, we observed a less pronounced reward positivity (RewP) difference wave upon receiving feedback in the competence frustration group compared to that observed in the control group. This finding suggests that consistent competence frustration may diminish one’s motivation in subsequent tasks. Moreover, in session 3, the amplitude of RewP difference wave was larger in the developmental feedback group than in the competence frustration group. This indicates that developmental feedback may alleviate the negative effects of consistent competence frustration on following tasks.
