- Psycho-behavioral studies indicate that sympathetic skin responses (SSR) correlate with emotional reactions, particularly in patients with Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD), who show heightened SSR linked to empathy and alexithymia.
- The study involved SAD patients and a control group, utilizing various scales and tests to measure social anxiety, depression, emotional understanding, and SSR in response to visual emotional stimuli.
- Results revealed that SAD patients exhibited more SSR to negative stimuli and had higher rates of alexithymic traits, suggesting that these factors could amplify their sympathetic sensitivity, necessitating further research for effective treatment approaches.
