Posttask appraisal	Condition
	SET (n = 19)		Non-SET (n = 20)		Difference
	M	SD	M	SD	F	p
Others evaluated performance	5.7	1.5	2.5	1.9	32.7	< .001
Task difficulty	4.9	1.2	4.4	1.3	1.5	> .20
Effort expended	2.8	1.6	2.3	1.3	0.9	> .20
Task challenge	4.8	1.6	5.0	1.2	0.2	> .20
Task controllability	4.1	1.4	4.0	1.7	0.1	> .20
Performance	3.5	1.3	3.4	1.3	0.0	> .20

Note. All ratings were made on 7-point scales. For evaluation by others, task difficulty, and task challenge, 1 = not at all and 7 = very much; for effort, 1 = tried hard and 7 = didn’t try hard; for task controllability, 1 = out of control and 7 = in control; and for performance 1 = very poorly and 7 = very well.
