abstract="The present research was designed to test an alternative explanation for the arousal-self-awareness link found by Wegner and Giuliano (1980). Specifically, it was suggested that the running-in-place manipulation used by Wegner and Giuliano may have increased self-awareness, not because of the increased arousal it engendered, but because of its &quot;unusual&quot; nature. To test this hypothesis, subjects were assigned to one of three conditions: (a) fast running (both arousing and unusual), (b) slow running (unusual but not arousing), (c) control (neither arousing nor unusual). Results supported the unusual-behavior hypothesis; subjects in both running groups, regardless of speed (and arousal), showed more self-awareness on a sentence completion form than did those subjects in the control condition. The implications of these results for self-awareness theory are considered.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
