I think the researcher taught at a university in Florida.
When I was on a vacation trip in Florida, I rode with a taxi driver who had worked as a lab assistant under this fellow.
He said that this researcher wanted to conquer the whole world with mild anxiety.

I’ve noticed that you’ve asked two questions relating to psychology today. And was wondering if you might be working on a paper, coupling classical music with some aspect of the science: just curious.
Sorry can’t be of any help,

Back during the early 1980s there was a rather popular book published called ‘The One Minute Manager.’ It was written by Ken Blanchard and one of the keys, he claimed, to getting the most efficiency out of employees was to apply a constant, low-keyed (mild anxiety) pressure on the employees.
The point I’m making is that if some modern (recent) researcher has concluded that mild anxiety results in optimum efficiency he is only stating what has been already stated, many times in many ways, by renowned scholars, philosophers and social psychologists over the years.
The concept is hardly new and I can’t imagine a current university researcher trying to take credit for this conclusion. Chances are he was probably just reiterating some past conclusion.
Every hear the phrase ‘Contentment breeds medoicracy’? Or ‘Contentment breeds complacency’?
In layman’s terms, it’s been pretty well observed that people content with themselves, their lives and their environment seldom excel. Optimum efficiency requires (whether you are an artist, a writer, a composer or a software designer) dissatisfaction with prior results and a need or desire (be it ego driven or a defense mechanism device or job insecurities. etc.) to improve or advance beyond past results.
