This dataset seeks to help answer questions about whether error-related brain activity differs between socially anxious and non-anxious individuals within an ecologically valid task context. Towards this end, we will assess error-related brain activity during a real-world golf task.
By employing a sports task for the ecologically valid task, the study also has potential implications for understanding choking under pressure in the context of sports.
Prior research has shown that socially anxious individuals show more error-related brain activity under social observation (Buzzell et al., 2019). However, there is little work investigating the effect of social context on relations between social anxiety and more error monitoring within more ecologically valid contexts (e.g., during sports performance). The current study aims to close this gap.
Participants complete a set of questionnaires assessing social and performance anxiety, followed by a standard flanker task and a live golf-putting task. Each task is completed twice; once while alone (within a “nonsocial context”) and once while being observed by the experimenter (creating a “social context”). 64-channel EEG is collected during all tasks.
