The UA Campus Repository is experiencing systematic automated, high-volume traffic (bots). Temporary mitigation measures to address bot traffic have been put in place; however, this has resulted in restrictions on searching WITHIN collections or using sidebar filters WITHIN collections. You can still Browse by Title/Author/Year WITHIN collections. Also, you can still search at the top level of the repository (use the search box at the top of every page) and apply filters from that search level. Export of search results has also been restricted at this time. Please contact us at any time for assistance - email repository@u.library.arizona.edu.

| dc.description.abstract | Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) is a measure of heart rate variability in relation to respiration. The current study investigated how the different induced emotional states (i.e., amusement, anger, disgust, happiness, fear, and sadness) affect RSA. This was done by comparing resting RSA to that occurring while watching short film clips intended to induce emotional states. It was hypothesized that RSA would be lower when negative emotions are induced and higher when positive emotions are induced. A difference between the resting RSA and RSA measured during emotion induction was also anticipated. Results indicated a marginally significant difference in RSA between film clip 1 and resting with eyes open and between film clip 1 and film clip 2. There was also a trend in RSA between male and female participants. | |
