- Have you ever had the opportunity to ask someone to increase their
- hardiness, self-efficacy, self-complexity, or mellowness?
-
- I prefer to monitor something that is more tangible and easily monitored
- from moment to moment, like heart rate, skin conductance level,
- heart rate, finger skin temperature. To me these are much more useful
- while monitoring a person's reaction to various stimuli. I see them
- as being much more meaningfully related to what is typically called
- stress. Also, these are things that people can learn to regulate.
- Whereas, the personality traits or states mentioned above are only
- obtained by complex analysis of answers to questionnaires, and over
- all, much more difficult for the client to monitor and regulate on
- a moment to moment basis.
-
- For references, see the Journal of Biofeedback and Self Regulation.
