A Palmar Sweat Measure Particularly Suited for Naturalistic Research
Robert F. Strahan, John B. Todd, Geoffrey B. Inglis · Psychophysiology · 1974
ABSTRACT A simple measure of palmar sweating has been developed that seems especially applicable to naturalistic research. A sweat sample is collected by inverting a small bottle of distilled water on a palm or a fingertip. Inexpensive, simple apparatus is later used to measure the sweat solution's electrical conductivity. Substantial evidence speaking to issues of reliability and validity warrants further exploration of this sweat bottle measure.
