"Unexpectedly. men told their coffee ’contained caffeine, which enhances performance’ had higher heart rates and used less【C17】______coping strategies— that is showed more stress. " say the pair.
They add that caffeine’s effects on men may be worse because men may feel more【C18】______or challenged by some tasks than women. and caffeine【C19】______their stress.
