Galvanic Skin Responses

The purpose of this study was to examine biochemical and physiological responses to musical stimuli. Specifically, university music and biology students' plasma levels of norepinephrine, endorphin, and Cortisol, and their galvanic skin responses were measured before and after listening to two different musical selections in an anechoic chamber and during controlled silence. The results indicated that biochemical variables changed significantly in both groups during listening to music but were not different during the controlled silence. These data suggest that music majors may listen more analytically to music. GSR responses were significantly higher for music majors than biology majors, and plasma Cortisol increased in music students but decreased in biology students. Music which elicits specific emotions induces physiological changes which may be beneficial to relaxation and behavioral therapies.

Adequate Reliability

This article provides supporting evidence for the use of a revised version of the Opinions Relative to Mainstreaming (ORM) scale. Analyses of data produced by a test of the revised scale, the Opinions Relative to Integration of Students with Disabilities (ORI), indicated satisfactory item characteristics and adequate reliability and homogeneity. Initial support for ORI's construct validity was demonstrated by the results of regression analyses relating ORI scores to respondent sociodemographic and experiential data and scores on the Scale of Attitudes Toward Disabled Persons (SADP). The ORI should prove useful to researchers evaluating the attitudes of educators toward the integration of students with disabilities into general education classrooms.

Galvanic Skin Responses

In this experiment we exposed small groups of Japanese university students to persuasive communications dealing with the Cuban situation, recorded galvanic skin responses while they listened to the arguments and measured their attitudes after exposure to each of the communications. The data were examined for relationships between initial attitude, emotional response to persuasion, and attitude change. This study was part of a larger program of experiments designed to determine the responses of Japanese university students to persuasive communications under varying conditions of exposure.

Galvanic Skin Responses

McGinnies' (1949) study on perceptual defense was replicated. No significant results were noted for galvanic skin responses. Threshold differences were significant; taboo words had higher thresholds than neutral words. Possibly “emotionality” and “threat” may require separate operational definitions if the effect, “perceptual defense,” is to be clearly demonstrated.
