Document Summary

Situation or context people might find themselves in. Ex. if a person is very shy and have to talk in front of an audience: physiological response. Ex. causes anxiety, increased heart rate, perspiration etc. The physiological indicator for a behavioural response: behaviour. Ex. likely to avoid a situation like that. How do we measure these indicators: electrodermal activity: Provides a measure of sympathetic nervous system activity (when we re anxious) Electrodes are put on the palm of the hand. Activated during the fight or flight response. Low voltage current is put in one electrode. The more sweat, the more current there will be in the second electrode. Skin conductance as a marker of emotional reactivity. Might be higher in people who are prone to self-injury. Usually used when they have a stressful experience. Used a card game and gave positive feedback, then failure feedback. How the person reacts to the feedback.
