The Relationship between Sex, Age, and Heart Rate Reactivity to a Psychological Stressor: Implications for Student Stress Management.

Sharpley, Christopher F.; Scuderi, Carl S.

Journal of College Student Development, v31 n3 p262-69 May 1990

Compared heart rate reactivity (HRR) in a wide age range of 128 male and female students. Used mental arithmetic under timed and competitive conditions as the stressor. Findings showed no significant differences in the HRR of men and women suggesting that college stress management programs should be evenly aimed at women and men. (Author/PVV)
