Abstract |
The problem consisted in measuring the steadiness of 42 subjects who were under the influence of four different types of emotional situations. Data on relative steadiness were obtained by means of a modified plate-and-stylus tester of the Whipple type. Those subjects whose introspections show that they were severely affected by the emotional situations were less steady than the control group. A faster breathing rate was found not to be the cause of the steadiness changes. The author concludes that increase in involuntary muscular movement is probably related to the degree of excitement induced by emotional stimuli.
