Two studies are reported that show the McDonald, Harris, and Maher critique of our earlier experiment to be mistaken. In the first study, arousal-induced attention to self was demonstrated in a field setting devoid of any of the artifactual covariates of arousal induction suggested by these researchers. In the second study, a replication of the McDonald et al. experiment was conducted in which a crucial manipulation check that they failed to make was included. This check on the unusualness and embarrassment-producing properties of the manipulations revealed that their study was burdened by the very artifact they claimed might exist in ours. Although their slow-running manipulation was superficially similar to our fast-running manipulation, slow running created self-focus through unusualness and embarrassment, whereas fast running led to self-focus via arousal.
