The influence of anxiety on pupillary behavior.
influenceofanxie00wils.pdf (2.011Mb)Abstract
The Stroop color-word test was iised as an anxiety provoking
situation, in an attempt to isolate the effects of such anxiety on
pupillary tehavior, A TY Pupillometer was utilized to measure the
pupil diameter during testing. Although the confrontation with the
anxiety provoking situation did produce the anticipated pupil
dilations, the data was felt to be contaminated by a confounding
variable and the high variability attributed to the subjects. As
a result, no conclusive evidence was obtained to either support or
repute the association of anxiety with the observed pupillary
reactions. The results are significant, in that the commonly
accepted association of anxiety and pupillary dilations was not
supported.
