Measuring arousal and anxiety
Quick revise
Measuring arousal requires looking at changes in physiological signs e.g. HR, respiration, skin conductance and biochemistry.
People can also rate their arousal with a series of statements.
To measure state or trait anxiety psychologists use global and multidimensional self-report scales. E.g. CSAI-2 is the cognitive state anxiety inventory version 2. SCAT is the sport competition trait anxiety test.
