2/5/2023 0 Comments Galvanic skin response![]() It is noteworthy that both positive (“happy” or “joyful”) and negative (“threatening” or “saddening”) stimuli can result in an increase in arousal – and in an increase in skin conductance. GSR measurements work by detecting changes in electrical (ionic) activity resulting from changes in sweat gland activity. ![]() If something is scary, threatening, joyful, or otherwise emotionally relevant, the change in emotional response that we experience also increases eccrine sweat gland activity. Our level of emotional arousal changes in response to the environment we’re in. GSR provides an additional source of insight into the level of emotional arousal, to validate self-reports, surveys, or interviews of participants within a study. The galvanic skin response (GSR), also known as Skin Conductance (SC), refers to changes in sweat gland activity, which reflect the intensity of participants’ emotional state – or ‘emotional arousal’.
