Fig.6a: SAM Scale for positive valence low arousal
Fig.6b: SAM Scale for positive valence high arousal The valence, arousal and dominance was plotted using SAM SCALE. For low arousal (Fig.6a), the valence ratings are: mean=7.24 and S.D= 1.15281; the arousal ratings are: mean=3.6 and S.D=1.87355; the dominance ratings are: mean=6.58 and S.D=1.87453. For high arousal (Fig.6b), the valence ratings are: mean=6.98 and S.D=1.22040; the arousal ratings are: mean=5.32 and S.D=1.40255; the dominance ratings are: mean=6.5 and S.D=1.59399. The participants’ ratings show that, the valence and dominance do not vary greatly when you compare the two categories. …show more content…
And these stimuli induces changes in the autonomic nerve system which are governed by sympathetic and parasympathetic activation. Sympathetic activation leads to an elevation of total peripheral resistance and cardiac output via increased contractility of the heart rate and arterial vasoconstriction which tends to increase heart rate and Blood Pressure (Vorobiof et al., 2006). But parasympathetic activation leads the reverse effects. C.G Courtney et al. (2009) in their work used skin conductance responses as an index of arousal, the reduction in skin conductance measures the sympathetic activity whereas startle eye blink were used as an index of valence. Distinct respiration rates have been linked to different psychological states such as fast and deep for excitement and irregular breathing during emotional distress (Boiten et al, 1994). In this work, the variation in R-R interval and Heart rate was considered as index of arousal which measures the sympathetic and parasympathetic
