5000 patients, 400 ppts rate the LC, scores averaged to create LCU. use scale to tick off events
SSRS- strengths?
easy to use, used by researchers to show link between stress and illness.
SSRS- weakness?
LCU are subjective, only applies to adults, ignores factors that 'buffer' stress
Hassles and Uplifts?
117 hassles and 135 uplifts. ppts rate hassles for severity and uplift for frequency.
Hassles and Uplifts- strengths?
easy to use and has been used in research.
Hassles and Uplifts- weakness?
too long, test-retest ability low (0.48 for hassles and 0.6 for uplifts) Gender differences in hassles vs uplifts.
Skin conductive response?
tonic skin conductance, measure skin conductance in response to a stimulus aka phasic skin conductance by comparing this against a baseline aka skin conductance response.
Osumi and Ohira (2010)?
found psychopaths can lie without an associated physiological response and most people's SCR can changes based in other things.
Individual differences?
some people produce little SCR and others produce a lot even at rest.
