SCR Magnitude
Within the RHD group 2 subjects showed a clearly
greater SCR magnitude during the shock compared to the no
shock control (greater than 1% point). Three subjects
showed a small difference in the expected direction (less
than 1%) and one subject had greater responding during the
no-shock condition. Of the four subjects who did not
display greater SCR magnitude in the shock compared to the
shock control conditions, three subjects displayed the
expected change in verbal report and one did not.
In the LHD group, five of the subjects who were
responders demonstrated greater SCRs during the shock
compared to the no-shock conditions. Three subjects did not
have greater responding during the shock compared to the no
shock condition. One of these subjects, L12, also had a
relatively small change in verbal report ratings.
Verbal Report
Three of the RHD subjects had no or minimal change in
verbal report ratings (1 point or less between the shock and
control conditions for valence, arousal, and dominance
combined). Of those three subjects, 2 were non-responders.
One subject who had a minimal change in verbal report
ratings, displayed SCRs, but did not display a greater
percentage or magnitude of SCRs in the shock compared to the
no-shock conditions.
