Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary study parameter is the physiological arousal which will be measured by the E4 wristband from Empatica. This is an instrument that, while worn on the wrist, records skin conductance, continuous heart rate and skin temperature. The various physiological data will be combined to one overall measure for physiological arousal. During the measurement, participants listen to an audio recording of an individualized script that is based on their most exciting memory of exposing their genitals. | — |
