The present study investigated informed consent procedures as a possible methodological artifact in stressor research. The authors hypothesized that certain aspects of the consent form may give the subject the perception of control over the stressor. Empirical support was found for this hypothesis. Analyses revealed that stressed subjects who were explicitly informed via consent forms of their freedom to withdraw from the experiment performed significantly better on cognitive tasks than stressed subjects not so informed.
