Abstract
The primary aim of this study was to investigate the variations in cognitive load as self-efficacy gradually increases and examine the potential within-mediating effect of state anxiety between self-efficacy and cognitive load. The experiment manipulated the self-efficacy of 49 adult participants through the false feedback paradigm, employing a within-subject experimental design and using facial expression recognition as the experimental task. The data were analyzed using Hierarchical Linear Modeling. The results revealed that self-efficacy negatively predicted state anxiety and cognitive load, while state anxiety positively predicted cognitive load. Moreover, state anxiety played a complete mediating role at multiple levels in this process.
