Dickinson, Stuart
Journal of Adventure Education and Outdoor Leadership, v9 n2 p34-36 Sum 1992
Forty-four males and 40 females completed an adaptation of the Linear Arousal and Stress Scale after a 1-day rafting trip. Men showed higher base levels of anxiety than women. Anxiety and arousal increased significantly prior to the first rapid. Levels of anxiety and arousal during this adventure activity changed constantly as different situations arose. (KS)
