Habituation of skin conductance responses in patients with anxiety States.

Habituation of the GSR responses obtained from a group of 20 patients sufferings from anxiety states was compared with a group of 20 matched normals, selected for lack of anxiety. Habituation parameter did differentiate the two groups very distinctly, where very fast habituation WP.S noted in the normals. Findings were interpreted in terms of the level of arousal of the patients/subjects tested.
