Influence of arousal on intentional binding: Impaired action binding, intact outcome binding.

ABSTRACT: Emotional states have been indicated to affect intentional binding, resulting in an increase or decrease as a function of valence and arousal. Sexual arousal is a complex emotional state proven to impair attentional and perceptual processes, and is therefore highly relevant to feeling in control over one's actions. We suggest that sexual arousal affects intentional binding in the same way as highly negative arousing states such as fear and anger.

Analyses were conducted for the subcomponents action and outcome binding separately including the change in arousal before and after the emotion induction as a continuous measure. Results showed an inte
