Confidence-Enhanced PerformanceThe fear that triggers the physiological response in a person faced with a particular activity is often related to experience and is likely to be especially strong if the person performed less than optimally at those times. Knowing that one has failed frequently at a task may make succeeding at the task in the future difficult. Stated succinctly, the likelihood of an individual’s succeeding at a task may not be independent of his or her beliefs about the likelihood of success. #Success #Failure #Confidence
