Physiological Arousal in the Context of a Specified Anticipatory Period and Experimentally Induced Expectancy for Shock

Mead, John D.; Dengerink, Harold A.

Journal of Research in Personality, 11, 4, 443-58, Dec 77

The major intent of this research was to provide a further test of the relationships between physiological arousal and event probability by experimentally generating subjective expectancies for shock. The relationship of event probability to stress was discussed with respect to length of the anticipatory periods and methods used to establish expectancies. (Author/RK)
