Effects of a nootropic ergogenic aid (denoted as white circles) in comparison with a placebo (denoted as black circles) on emotional status differences (Δ = after beverage − before beverage) between before and after the performance of the cognitive test by the participants. Emotional status include positive (A) and negative (B) emotions, intrinsic motivation (C), identified (D) and external regulation (E), amotivation (F), sadness-depression (G), anger-hostility (H), anxiety (I), happiness (J), anxiety state (K), and anxiety trati (L). Circles represent individual values, whereas lines represent mean (i.e., central line) and standard deviation. Differences between nootropic and placebo were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Boldfaced values mean P < 0.05. PANAS, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule; STAI, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory.
