The Motivation Rating Scale was administered to 238 subjects. Respondents scoring at the extremes (N = 40 in each) for the subscale of mental roughness were then tested in a choice RT task under conditions of success or failure.

There were no differences between groups, between success levels, or in the interaction of groups × levels.
