cardiovascular psychophysiology measures  

Definition

  • The existence of physiological concomitants of emotional stress has long been recognized, but only relatively recently have they been the subject of systematic scientific inquiry. Historically, Walter B. Cannon's 1915 landmark text, Bodily Changes in Pain, Hunger, Fear and Rage, set the stage for the field of cardiovascular psychophysiology, which has emerged with the objective of documenting cardiovascular correlates of behavior, with particular emphasis on the effects of stress.
