Using Thermodynamic Degradation Approach to Quantify Human Stress Response

Table 1

Mean finger skin temperature change within male and female subjects at stressor and recovery states.

Response	Sex	State	Mean change (from relaxation State 1)	Significance ()
Finger skin temperature () in K	M	2 (stressor)	−1.37	0.00
		3 (recovery)	−0.87	0.00
	F	2 (stressor)	−0.57	0.03
		3 (recovery)	−0.34	0.10
