تغییرات ضربان قلب در هنگام استرس روانی شدید: یک کارآزمایی بالینی تصادفی شده با استرسهای آزمایشگاهی کلامی و غیر کلامی

Taken together, our results suggest the presence of gender-related differences during psychophysiological experiments on stress. They also suggest that verbal activity masked the vagal withdrawal through altered respiration patterns imposed by speaking. Therefore, our findings support the use of highly-standardized math task, such as MIST, as a valid and reliable alternative to verbal protocols during laboratory studies on stress.
