Autonomic arousal feedback and emotional experience: Evidence from the spinal cord injured.
Key result
Perception of autonomic arousal may not be necessary for emotional experience in spinal-cord-injured subjects, though greater autonomic feedback tended to be associated with more intense negative emotions.
Why the study?
Does the level of autonomic arousal feedback affect emotional experience in spinal-cord-injured subjects?
Population
Spinal-cord-injured subjects, other handicapped subjects, and nonhandicapped subjects
Comparison

Chwalisz et al. (1988) conducted a cross-sectional in Spinal cord injury. Level of autonomic feedback vs. Other handicapped and nonhandicapped subjects was evaluated on Experienced emotion and affect intensity. Perception of autonomic arousal may not be necessary for emotional experience in spinal-cord-injured subjects, though greater autonomic feedback tended to be associated with more intense negative emotions.
