The Effect of Induced Stress on Fine Motor Accuracy
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2015)
The stress response is a cascade of physiological changes resulting from activation of the sympathetic nervous system that occurs when one is subjected to a threatening situation. The physiological changes brought about ...
Effects of Audiovisual Stimulation on Working Memory Recall
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2015)
High levels of stress have been shown to negatively impact working memory recall. For many students these levels produced by academic demands could actually hurt test performance (Kuhlmann et al., 2005). To decrease test ...
Effectiveness of Stress Balls in Reducing the Physiological Symptoms of Stress
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2015)
The purpose of our study was to determine the effectiveness of stress balls in reducing the physiological symptoms of stress. We measured changes in heart rate, blood pressure, and skin conductance and compared the differences ...
Physiological Anxiety Responses with Cell Phone Separation and Subsequent Contact
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2015)
Past research has shown that people separated from their cell phones exhibit physiological responses related to anxiety. These responses include an increase in the release of stress hormones leading to an increase in heart ...
The Physiological Effects of Stress Induced by the Distraction of a Ringing Cell Phone
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2015)
Stress in everyday life is associated with many adverse health effects. A variety of studies have explored specific triggers for a stress response, and have identified cell phone use as a potential cause of stress. The ...
Analysis of autonomic response to stressful and calming visual and auditory stimuli
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2015)
Stress is a recognizable physical sensation that results from a stimulus associated with anxiety or fear in which the body has regulatory mechanisms for control in order to alter the stimulation of sympathetic innervation ...
The effect of white noise on psychological stress while performing cognitive tasks and its correlation to performance
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2015)
It is common for young adults to resort to illicit means, such as using non-prescription stimulants, to improve their performance in school. Our study investigated the effects that white noise masked over ambient noise ...
The Effects of Genre of Music on Physiological Stress Response After Moderate Exercise
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2015)
The advent of portable music devices and growing popularity of musicguided exercise classes have ushered in an era in which music and exercise increasingly intersect. Previous research suggest that music can produce positive, ...
Differences Between Non-Parental Male and Female Responses to Infant Crying
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2015)
The purpose of this study was to determine if there is a difference between how non-parental males and females between the ages of 20 and 24 respond physiologically to an audio recording of a crying infant. Based on previous ...
Test Scores on Timed Exams Decline Over Time Without a Significant Increase in Physiological Stress
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2015)
In today’s world, there is a lot of pressure to perform well on exams. Schools and workplaces rely on tests to evaluate individuals. While these institutions intend to test for cognitive function, there are a number of ...
