Computer Breakdown as a Stress Factor during Task Completion under Time Pressure: Identifying Gender Differences Based on Skin Conductance

Figure 2

Results (treatment versus control condition). Notes: Female, Male. Panel (a) illustrates the results of the treatment condition (time-pressured environment), panel (b) illustrates the results of the control condition (no time pressure). Panel (a) The EDA mean values of males are significantly different between the prestressor (0.41) and poststressor (0.60) phases ( ); also, in the poststressor phase the EDA mean values of males (0.60) are significantly different from the EDA mean values of females (0.31) ( ); all other comparisons of EDA mean values do not yield statistically significant differences. Panel (b) There are no statistically significant differences. Error bars show confidence intervals at the 95%-level.
