The blood pressure and galvanic reflex as indicators of emotional states

Abstract

"The present study seems to warrant the following conclusions: 1. That b p [blood pressure] changes and g r [galvanic reflex] changes indicate the presence of emotional states. 2. That fear-producing stimuli cause a greater change in b p and g r than mental work. 3. There is a positive relationship between the b p and the g r results, but this relationship is not great." As subjects, 5 boys and 5 girls were used, aged 13-17. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
