Abstract
A psychogalvanic reflex (P.G.R.) study, conducted in the Department of Psychiatry, Christian Medical College, Vellore, India, is described. 20 subjects took part in this study They consisted of 10 members of the staff and 10 neurotic patients. All of them filled up the Eysenck Personality Inventory A form. A continuous P.G.R. tracing was recorded on a Grass 4-channel polygraph, before, during, and after a standard stress test (Progressive Matrices). A high N score differentiated the neurotic group from the normal group. P.G.R. changes did not differentiate the two groups. N score was significantly correlated to initial resistance change percentage (+0.568) and to initial log change conductance (−0.458). The implications of these findings are discussed.
