“…Studies, in which attempts were made to relate these verbal report data to physiological responses elicited by food cues (e.g., salivation, heart rate, and electrodermal responses), though, showed discouraging results. In most studies no reliable relationships between measures of autonomic arousal and verbal report were obtained (Buree et al, 1990; Carter & Bulik, 1996; Leitenberg et al, 1984; Williamson, Kelley, Davis, Ruggiero, & Veitia, 1985). This does not come as a surprise, because discordance and desynchrony between different response systems are often observed during emotional responding (Cacioppo, Klein, Berntson, & Hartfield, 1993; Lang, 1985).…”
