In brief

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the impact of taking a continuous performance attention test on the physiological stress response in college students. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does taking an attention test cause participants to have increases in heart rate, blood pressure, and sweat? * Does taking an attention test cause participants to have a decrease in heart rate variability? * Are there relationships between participants' levels of anxiety, perceived stress, and mindfulness to their physiological changes? Participants will * Answer questionnaires about anxiety, stress, and mindfulness * Have baseline measurements taken for blood pressure, sweat, and heart rate variability * Take the PEBL Continuous Performance Task (a 14 minute attention test) while having the measurements listed above taken again
