In the new study, the team conducted a meta-analysis of 170 studies, representing 4,670 participants from 29 countries. They included college #students, amateur #athletes, #engineers, #teachers, and those who work in a #military or #healthcare setting.

The team found that across all populations, the more mental effort a task required, the more study participants reported unpleasant feelings.
