Abstract

Abstract.— GSR patterns were studied in 30 subjects anticipating and receiving electric shocks with high but not definitive probability. Although the majority of subjects showed anticipatory responses, six subjects displayed low or no response during anticipation but very high responses to shocks. As these subjects also reported that during anticipation they tended to deny the possibility of receiving a shock, their response pattern was interpreted as indicating denial of threat, and consequently, little preparation for stress. Self reports about behavior in everyday stress revealed a similar kind of behavior.
