Scientists from the Brigham Young University in the USA have found out by eye-analyses that relationships can help you to remain Stress calm and focused: Who was supported by the spouse in the case of tricky tasks, able to master emerging Stress better.
Forty couples should be solved on the Computer confusing task. A part of them worked alone, the others received indirect assistance through your spouse who gave you the Hand. While you knobelten to the tasks was recorded, your pupil diameter continuously by an infrared camera, which is a direct Signal for the stress response of the body.
Stressed by all participants, but those who were supported by their spouses, got used to much faster at the task and you could &ndash with less Stress to do; the pupillary reactions were significantly lower. Professor Wendy Birmingham, who led the study, said: "If we have a spouse in us, can help us to cope with the Stress we have in life."
Measurements of the effect of interpersonal relationships on the pupillary response in real-time, there has been hardly. Steven Luke, a psychology Professor at BYU, explained: "People react within 200 milliseconds on Stress. It can immediately be measured, how someone reacts to Stress, and whether social support changed this."
