Spatial Presence and Emotions during Video Game Playing: Does It Matter with Whom You Play? (2006, methodology): “Heart rate (HR; or cardiac interbeat interval, IBI) is a frequently used psychophysiological index of arousal [11].”
Analysis of Neurophysiological Reactions to Advertising Stimuli by Means of EEG and Galvanic Skin Response Measures (2009, background): “Because an increase in the activation of the ANS is an indicator of arousal, SC can be used as a measure of such arousal (Ravaja, 2004).”
Phasic Emotional Reactions to Video Game Events: A Psychophysiological Investigation (2006, background): “Particularly when examining phasic (as opposed to tonic) responses, psychophysiological measures have several advantages over self-report in game research (see Ravaja, 2004).”
Biometric Measures for Interactive Advertising Research (2011, methodology): “Because an increase in the activation of the ANS is an indicator of arousal, SC can be used as a measure of such arousal (Ravaja 2004).”
Current and potential methods for measuring emotion in tourism experiences: a review (2015, methodology): “Such measures can be more objective in reflecting individuals’ emotional responses compared to traditional self-report methods (Ravaja, 2004).”
The Effects of Auditory Structural Complexity on Attitudes, Attention, Arousal, and Memory (2006, background): “One indicator of an OR is the turning of the body’s sensory organs toward the source of novelty (Lynn, 1966; Ravaja, 2004), and it was here that Watt and Welch saw the parallel between the OR and their observations in the TV research lab—unexpected sounds coming from the set would cause the children”
Predicting advertising effectiveness by facial expressions in response to amusing persuasive stimuli. (2014, background): “Changes in SC indicate autonomic nervous system activation: the higher SC levels the higher is physiological arousal (Ravaja, 2004).”
A Comparative Analysis of Self-Report and Psychophysiological Measures of Emotion in the Context of Tourism Advertising (2018, background): “As “an excellent operational definition of arousal” (Ravaja 2004, 212), skin conductance level has been demonstrated to be a reliable indicator of memory (A. Lang, Dhillon, and Dong 1995).”
Using skin conductance and facial electromyography to measure emotional responses to tourism advertising (2018, background): “Moreover, psychophysiological methods are capable of detecting emotional responses that respondents are not consciously aware of (Ravaja, 2004).”
Effects of Music on Physiological Arousal: Explorations into Tempo and Genre (2007, background): “As Ravaja (2004) explains, the body manifests different physiological patterns of responses when experiencing different emotions.”
Motivational Processing and Choice Behavior During Television Viewing: An Integrative Dynamic Approach (2011, background): “…input effects include all the possibly interesting theoretical effects, including (a) main linear effects of the three motivational inputs (e.g., Ravaja, 2004)—arousing content b1hA(t − dh), positivity b2hP(t − dh), and negativity b3hN(t − dh); (b) their quadratic main effects (e.g., A. Lang,…”
