Historical Context:

Research has suggested the introverts and extraverts differ in their responses to performance feedback. The present study examined the effect of feedback on the arousal, self-efficacy and performance of introverts and extraverts on a short-term memory task. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of three performance feedback conditions: positive, negative, or no-feedback control. On post-test, introverts performed significantly better than extraverts under the negative performance feedback condition. These findings suggest that individual differences in introversion- extraversion may mediate the effects of feedback on performance, and that receiving negative feedback may improve the performance of some individuals.
