The present study examined the effects of competitive and noncompetitive instructions on heart rate and problem solving time in paired subjects. Subjects were thirty junior college women. They were divided into three groups (respectively, N=10, 5pairs). The problem solving task was carried out under the competitive, noncompetitively relaxed or neutral instruction. Heart rate was continuously measured using cardiotachometers. Additionally, the psychological time was measured by estimation method, and state anxiety by Spielberger's STAI-I type. The main results indicated; 1. Problem solving time differed among five tests. Especially, solving time in Test 2 and 3 was delayed. Noncompetitive instruction group was faster than competitive and neutral instruction groups. 2. Heart rate of competitive and neutral instruction groups was increased as compared with training period. In opposition, heart rate of noncompetitive instruction group was decreased. From these results, it was suggested that noncompetitive and relaxed instruction had an optimal arousal level in paired situation.
