Comparison of negative POMS scores between subjects with fast and slow RTs.

<p>Mean RTs for the slower (<i>n</i> = 8) and faster (<i>n</i> = 19) groups were 778 (<i>SD</i> = 33) ms and 927 (<i>SD</i> = 86) ms, respectively. Both Tension-Anxiety (<i>t</i> = 4.108, <i>p</i> < .001, <i>r</i> = .64) and Fatigue (<i>t</i> = 2.724, <i>p</i> < .01, <i>r</i> = .48) subscale scores in subjects with slower RTs were significantly higher relative to those observed in subjects with faster RTs. Non-paired <i>t</i> test, *<i>p</i> < .05.</p
