The Relation between Affective Style of Stressor on EEG Asymmetry and Stress Scale during Multimodal Task

In previous paper, we founded that the affective style of subjects according to an auditory stressor existed. Subjects in the stress group compared to other groups reported a higher level of stress on physiological stress scale. The aim of the current study was to investigate the relation between affective style and stress scale under various stress conditions. This experiment consisted of three sessions such as auditory, movie, and unknot task. We used woman scream, horror movie, and unknot stimuli to evoke stress. We classified the affective style according to task based on EEG asymmetry. The stress scale in stress group was greater than that of other groups for all tasks. Also, a subject who in stress group for specific stimulus was not always in stress group for other stimuli. These results demonstrate that the subjects with the propensity to negative affective style are apt to be stressed.
