Understanding and predicting how individuals perform in high-pressure situations is of importance in designing and managing workplaces. We investigate performance under pressure in professional darts as a near-ideal setting with no direct interaction between players and a high number of observations per subject. Analyzing almost one year of tournament data covering 32,274 dart throws, we find no evidence in favor of either choking or excelling under pressure.
理解和预测个体在高压环境下的表现对于设计和管理工作场所至关重要。我们研究了职业飞镖比赛中的压力表现,这是一个近乎理想的环境,选手之间没有直接互动,每个选手的观察次数很多。通过分析近一年的涵盖 32274 次投镖的数据,我们没有发现任何证据表明选手在压力下会出现窒息或表现出色的情况。
