Castiel is a psychologist who is interested in seeing how autonomic nervous system responses are related to subjective feelings of fear. Half the participants in Castiel's experiment watch a 10-minute graphic and violent video and the other half watch a 10-minute video of a baby kitten. While the participants are watching the video, Castiel gathers measurements of their skin conductance. After they finish watching the video the participants answer a questionnaire about their level of fear after watching the video as well as how they generally react to horror movies.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The skin conductance test is a physiological test that measures the activity of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) in response to stimulating events. The ANS controls the body's involuntary responses, such as changes in heart rate and sweating, that are associated with emotions like fear. This test is commonly used in psychological research to assess emotional responses to different stimuli or situations.
