Abstract
In two laboratories utilizing different age subjects and recording techniques, Negro subjects had higher skin resistance than a comparable white population. There was no difference in other autonomic variables or autonomic reactivity. Reasons for this racial difference may offer a better physiological explanation for galvanic skin resistance.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
