Publisher's Synopsis

Cardiovascular response refers to changes in parameters such as heart rate, blood pressure, and heart contraction in reaction to an event or set of events. The chapters in this book, authored by an international group of distinguished scientists, show that applied motivational research has considerable predictability, informing us about cardiovascular responses and highlighting conditions under which those responses might pose a health risk.
The volume will appeal to scholars and practitioners in numerous specialty areas, including motivation, emotion, psychophysiology, medical/health psychology, social/personality psychology and human factors/ergonomics. It will be a vital research source and could serve as a text or supplement in classes that address motivational, psychophysiological and health issues.
