The psychophysiology of emotion has intrigued American psychologists at least since James' pronouncements on the subject, and recently the psychological reaction to threat or stress has become an important part of the research endeavor of contemporary psychology. This investigation consists of two studies. In Study I, 32 subjects were presented with 18 phrases and their verbal and physiological reactions were recorded concomitantly. In addition, these subjects were given paper and pencil self-rating scales of anxiety and visceral perception. In Study II, 28 subjects were presented with 40 phrases and their verbal reactions were recorded. These subjects were also given a group Rorschach test. In these studies we have explored relations among various modes of verbal response to threat, differences among types of threat areas, and physiological response to them. Results showed that the verbal response measures reliably differentiated between various areas of threat—defined by phrase content—and in particular between neutral phrases and phrases with threat content. Physiological response also differentiated neutral from threatening stimulus items. Individual differences in modes of response were contrasted with differences among stimuli and their tendencies to evoke different kinds of response modes. The major finding here was the identification of a cluster consisting of behavioral interference, recoding or denial of meaning, high degree of physiological response, and long reaction times, all of which are apparently elicited by the same kinds of stimuli.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
