Data analysis of SCR data was performed in the same manner as described in Chapter 3, section 3.4. The data from each individual video was averaged over the course of the video to give a single integrated skin conductance response (ISCR) value for each video. This can be taken as a measure of the overall electrodermal activity within a particular window of time. 4.8 Behavioural data Neuropsychological data and behavioural responses obtained during the paradigm were analyzed using SPSS (version 14.0) 4.9 Results 4.9.1 Baseline characteristics Table 4.1 – baseline characteristics of participants Study 1 (reappraise) (N=60) Study 2 (suppress) (N=60) Anodal Cathodal Sham Anodal Cathodal Sham (N=20) (N=20) (N=20) (N=20) (N=20) (N=20) Mean age (years) 23 21 22 21 21 21 PANAS-X positive 26 22 28 22 28 28 PANAS-X negative 12 14 13 12 12 13 Mean disgust 1.75 1.63 1.59 1.43 1.35 1.52 sensitivity
