Surprise versus suspense in the production of stress reaction
The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the relationship between duration of harm anticipation and magnitude of the associated stress response. 2 versions of a film portraying 3 wood-mill accidents were constructed. In the short anticipation, or "surprise " version, the 1st 2 accidents occurred virtually without warning; in the long anticipation, or "suspense " version, they were preceded by 20-30 sec. of clue-furnishing scenes.

A cross-cultural study of stress-reaction patterns in Japan
Heart Rate Measurement and the Correlation of Indices of Arousal
Twenty-two subjects watched a stressor motion picture film, "Subincision," which was expected to stimulate autonomic arousal, and 22 control subjects saw a benign film, "The Corn Farmer." Heart rate and skin conductance were recorded. When analyzed by previously used methods, skin conductance changes over time showed a close correspondence to film content, while heart rate did not. A new method of sampling heart rate records, the method of mean c…
