In high-stakes situations, such as during a job interview, an exam or a sporting event, people may find that they"choke" under pressure, meaning they perform worse than expected. However, if that sense of pressure were removed, these people would be able to perform to their fullest capability, said Dr. Jeri Tikare, a clinical psychologist at Kooth, a digital mental wellbeing and counseling platform.
When the body enters fight or flight mode, it rapidly increases the production of stress hormones, such as cortisol and adrenaline. This in turn leads to an elevated heart rate and raised blood pressure. According to a 2023 study published in the journal Psychological Science , these cardiovascular factors may be a predictor of poor performance in sports competitions.
High pressure may distract a person's attention away from the task and onto their worries about the consequences of failure, the review states. In addition, when there are high incentives and social pressure to succeed — for example, during big sporting events — individuals may be more focused on their public image than the task at hand, leading to overstimulation of the brain and poorer performance, the authors wrote.
This propensity to underperform under stress can be"linked to having experienced more emotional, psychological or physical threat and danger in childhood as the brain is still developing," she told Live Science in an email."There are also certain triggers for choking under pressure, such as a major past event or failure which has led to loss of confidence.
