“…Higher child physiological reactivity may not only be a potential outcome of high EE, but may also make certain children more vulnerable to (i.e., moderate) the negative effects of EE. Indeed, a recent study found that negative symptoms in adults with schizophrenia were particularly elevated when higher EE environments were paired with greater electrodermal reactivity (EDA) in the individual (Subotnik et al, 2012).…”

Associations between parent critical attitudes (a component of the Expressed Emotion construct) and behavior problems have been relatively well established in adolescents and young adults with ASD, but use of systems adapted for children with ASD and additional investigations with younger samples are needed. The current study examined parental criticism, derived from a population-specific coding system, as related to behavior problems in children with ASD between the ages of 4 and 11 years, and considered parental warmth and children's psychophysiological reactivity as statistical moderators of these associations. Forty children with ASD and their primary caregivers attended a visit involving collection of child electrodermal activity (EDA), parent-child interaction, a parent interview from which critical attitudes and warmth were coded, and parent report of child behavior problems. Criticism was directly related to higher child externalizing but not internalizing problems. Parental criticism interacted with warmth in the prediction of internalizing problems such that criticism was only associated with more problems in the context of moderate but not high warmth. Criticism was positively associated with externalizing problems under conditions of moderate and high, but not low, child EDA reactivity. Implications for conceptualizations of parental criticism in ASD, for understanding comorbid behavior problems in this population, and for intervention are discussed.

“…EDA is considered to be a stable index of the activation of the sympathetic nervous system (Dawson et al 2007), "both among patients with schizophrenia and among those in the normal population [sic] (e.g. Schell et al 2002)" (Subotnik et al 2012(Subotnik et al , p. 1035. To our knowledge, EDA activity has not been put to use in situ in urban environments for the monitoring psychophysiological arousal of people living with a diagnosis of psychosis.…”

Epidemiological research in psychiatry has established robust evidence of the link between urban living and psychosis, but the situated experience of the city, as well as the precise ecology of psychosis remain largely unexplored. In this context, the aim of this paper is to discuss the productive potential of a 'revitalized' biosocial geographical thinking and researching on urban mental health. We do so through a methodological proposition. First, we discuss the need for a biosocial approach to the city/psychosis nexus and argue that a broader biological view, beyond epigenetics and neurosciences and a more precise investigation of 'the social' need to be developed. Second, a telling and recurring motto of recent reflections on biosocial processes is to understand how the environment or the social 'gets under the skin'. We suggest examining a specific place in this pathway, the skin itself. This leads us to expose a methodology using electrodermal activity (EDA), combined with ethnographic observations and interviews, as a strategy for analysing ecological processes in psychosis. In doing so, we discuss the potential of 'biosensory ethnographies' in studies of urban mental health and more broadly as a biosocial approach to the geography of health.

“…Electrodermal activity has been intensively studied, as reflecte by the 1973 book Electrodermal Activity in Psychological Research [46]. Several different applications of EDA have been used in diverse fields psychologists measured the elicited EDA in subjects that were shown pictures of spiders and snakes shortly and demonstrated that consciousness is not required to show fear responses [41]; in medicine, symptoms of mental pathologies like schizophrenia have been predicted using EDA measures [53]; and, more recently, it is neuroscience where EDA have served as a useful research tool [55]. Furthermore, in [34,56] we can see how EDA is now being also used in neuromarketing and consumer neuroscience, showing that its potential applications are broad.…”

The electrodermal activity (EDA) is a psychophysiological indicator which can be considered a somatic marker of the emotional and attentional reaction of subjects towards stimuli. EDA measurements are not biased by the cognitive process of giving an opinion or a score to characterize the subjective perception, and group-level EDA recordings integrate the reaction of the whole audience, thus reducing the signal noise. This paper contributes to the fiel of affective video content analysis, extending previous novel work on the use of EDA as ground truth for prediction algorithms. Here, we label short video clips according to the audience's emotion (high vs. low) and attention (increasing vs. decreasing), derived from EDA records. Then, we propose a set of low-level audiovisual descriptors and train binary classifier that predict the emotion and attention with 75% and 80% accuracy, respectively. These results, along with those of previous works, reinforce the usefulness of such low-level audiovisual descriptors to model video in terms of the induced affective response.
