Emotional Imagery: Changes in the Heart Rate and Self-Report Measures according to Two Kinds of Fear-Imagery

Abstract

Stimulus and response imagery scripts of 16 scenes for public speaking anxiety were made by Anderson's content analysis system. Two groups of 8 subjects were instructed, following training and relaxation. For one group the instructions structured of stimulus propositions were given, for the other instructions of response propositions. Heart rate was recorded throughout and self-report measure of fear and imaginal quality were obtained. For heart rate, group differences were apparent, but for perceptual anxiety and vividness of image were not. Results were discussed in terms of recent theory of desynchrony and self-report as a assessment method.
