Abstract

Physiology related to psychosymptomatology can be used as an objective measure of distress. In a population of individuals exposed to potentially traumatic events, emotional regulation was captured via electrodermal activity. Changes in electrodermal activity during semi-structured interviews were associated with naïve ratings of distress and specific PCL-5 symptom clusters.
