“…In contrast, women exposed to false feedback and neutral preexposure demonstrated greater genital responses beginning at 90 s and lasting for only 30 s of the erotic stimulus. These findings are consistent with the literature, which shows that bogus feedback exerts an effect on heart rate, electrodermal activity, and alpha activity associated with fear and anxiety (e.g., Borkovec & Glasgow, 1973;Lick, 1975), attractiveness (e.g., Kerber & Coles, 1978), unpleasantness (e.g., Young, Hirschman, & Clark, 1982), alpha experience (e.g., Plotkin, 1980), discomfort (Hirschman, 1975), and attitude (Detweiler & Zanna, 1976). They also suggest that the effect of positive-false feedback in enhancing genital arousal is more rapid and enduring when paired with autonomic arousal.…”

Effects of autonomic arousal and positive-false vaginal blood volume (VBV) feedback were examined to identify how cognitive and physiological mechanisms mediate sexual arousal, and can be modified to reverse dysfunctional processes. Sixty-four matched sexually dysfunctional women were randomly assigned to 4 conditions: autonomic arousal-evoking or neutral-control preexposure film stimulus paired with an erotic stimulus, and positive-false VBV feedback or no feedback. Results revealed the following: (a) general autonomic arousal enhanced genital arousal; false feedback increased (b) expectations of sexual arousal, (c) actual vasocongestive response, and (d) the subsequent experience of sexual arousal; (e) heightened expectations with false feedback were followed by an increase in actual genital response within 30 s, and (f) the combined effects of autonomic arousal and false feedback enhanced expectations and subsequent genital arousal to levels comparable with those of sexually functional women (E.M. Palace & B.B. Gorzalka, 1990) within 3 min.

“…As expected, they found that subjects who received false heart rate feedback, indicating that physiologically they did not react fearfully to the phobic stimuli, subsequently showed more snakeapproach behavior than control subjects. Consistent with this finding, numerous investigators have found that false physiological feedback (e.g., heart rate, electrodermal activity) is effective in modifjing subjective perceptions of fear and anxiety (e.g., Holmes & Frost, 1976;Lick, 1975), attractiveness (e.g., Hirschman, Clark, & Hawk, 1977;Kerber & Coles, 1978), unpleasanmess (Young, Hirschman, & Clark, 1982), persuasion (Hendrick, Giesen, & Borden, 1975), Me stress (Stem, Miller, Ewy, & Grant, 1980), and depression (Stern, Berrenberg, Winn, & Dubois, 1978). These results have been used to challenge the Schachter and Singer theory of emotion because subjective change occurred in the absence of actual physiological change.…”

Three decades of research have focused on identifying cognltive and physiological processes in human emotion. The mechanisms by which these components interact to mediate sexual arousal u. unknown, 8nd rientffic knowledge on women is lacking.

In contrast, psychophysiological research to identify key response components and mechanisms that medlate sexual arousal has just begun, and the study of women has lagged far behind that of men. Investigation of these issues has major implications for defining the construct of sexual arousal, deriving an etiological theory of sexual dysfunction, determining valid and reliable assessment instruments, and developing effective treatment methods for the alleviation of sexual dysfunction in women. Further, identification of these processes in sexual arousal has direct implications for identifjmg the nature of these processes in the mediation of other types of emotion processing.This article presents (a) new empirical findings on cognitive and physiological response patterns and processes of sexual response in sexually functional and dysfunctional women, (b) a new empirically derived process model of mechanisms of sexual arousal in women, and (c) an intervention, which &om preliminary research has been found to reverse these dysfunctional processes. Before presenting this model, a brief review of cognitive and physiological theories of emotion and empirical findings on the role of cognitive and physiological components in sexual arousal are presented.

“…In informing our hypotheses about interpersonal interactions with heartrate, we look to studies on interpretations of one's own heartrate, which empirical research has explored more deeply [22,28] (see [33] for a review). These studies have revealed that elevated heartrate can yield negative interpretations about one's own mood.…”

This study examines heartrate sharing in the context of a trust-building game. Through quantitative and qualitative analyses, we find that "elevated" (versus "normal") heartrate of an exchange partner is associated with negative mood attributions and reduced cooperation in a social dilemma game. To investigate how specific our findings are to heartrate (as opposed to some other "elevated" signal collected from the body), we replicate our initial experiment with an unfamiliar biosignal, "skin reflectivity". We find that both heartrate and the unfamiliar biosignal are associated with negative mood attributions, but we observe a decrease in cooperative behavior only with elevated heartrate. Qualitative results indicate that individuals may learn an association between our unfamiliar biosignal and the cooperative, trusting behavior of their partner. Our findings highlight the role prior beliefs can play in shaping interpretations of a biosignal, while suggesting that designers can, perhaps inadvertently, train users to associate signals with social meanings. We discuss implications for how wearable sensors can mediate social interactions.
