Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
By means of the electrocardiogram (ECG) and the impedance cardiogram (ICG) it is possible to assess heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV), respiratory sinus arrythmia (RSA) and the pre-ejection period (PEP). From these variables, sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system activity can be derived. These measures are well suited to show the physiological responses to fear and anxiety.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
A secondary point in question in this study is if the relation between subjective experience and psychophysiological measures, especially during in vivo exposure, is modulated by personality, cognitive coping style and worry behavior. For this purpose two additional questionnaires will be added. The PSWQ measures the tendency for excessive and uncontrollable worry. The BIS/BAS questionnaire measures two personality traits.	—
