3MacCraken and Stadulis (1985) used the [blank_start]balance beam test[blank_end] to see how an [blank_start]audience[blank_end] effected [blank_start]performance[blank_end]. The study included a [blank_start]pre-test[blank_end] to separate [blank_start]high[blank_end] and [blank_start]low[blank_end] balancing skill levels in the participants. The participants then performed the test with and without and audience. Finding the [blank_start]high skill level[blank_end] participants performed [blank_start]well[blank_end] in front of spectators but the [blank_start]low skill[blank_end] group didn't.

The researchers found difficulty [blank_start]increased[blank_end] anxiety but this also [blank_start]increase[blank_end] effort, therefore performance increased with anxiety.
