Effects of approach-avoidance related motor behaviour on the startle response during emotional picture processing.

abstract：:Three independent studies are reported in which periods of "relaxation" (A) and presumed stressors (B) were given to female students in an ABA design. The "stressors" were: (1) obligatory time-wasting activity; (2) a mental "IQ" test; and (3) delivering a speech. Saliva was collected immediately after "relaxation" and...
