Assigned 60 male undergraduates to 1 of 3 groups that (a) could avoid shock by tapping rapidly,(b) tapped rapidly but could not avoid shock, and (c) neither tapped nor could avoid shock. All groups received the same amount of shock. Several measures of heart rate and electrodermal reactivity were examined. Almost all measures were sensitive to motor effort and to imminence of threat. Nonspecific skin conductance responses were a highly sensitive measure of threat and, alone among the physiological measures, discriminated the group with an avoidance response from the group with an incidental motor response. The avoidance group produced fewer nonspecific skin conductance responses and rated its anxiety lower than the other groups. Results support the conceptualization of anxiety as a state of diffuse arousal induced by the perception of threat in the absence of a coping response.(19 ref)(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
