Content of the course In addition introducing related literature, students will also learn to use devices measuring electrodermal activity (see Obimon EDA at obimon.com) in practical classes. Anxiety interventions developed by the Adaptation Research Group will be used as examples (see vizsgaszorongas.elte.hu). Specific methods, data, results and implications aiming at reducing students’ test anxiety, for e.g. will be discussed on the practical classes. One of the requirements for the completion of the course is independent literature search in a chosen topic related to the subject of anxiety and electrodermal activity. Based on this knowledge, students will formulate their own research questions and hypotheses and present a research plan to carry out or demonstrate as a small pilot study in class. Understanding and analyzing the collected data will be carried out together in class. Topic of the course Introduction to the topics of anxiety, emotional arousal and electrodermal activity. Practical sessions on using devices for electrodermal measurements Introduction to anxiety measurements and interventions Choosing group assignment involving literature search of a chosen topic Completion and presentation of the group assignment, with in-class discussion: summarizing results of the literature search and related research plan and measurement methods to be used Execution of the group research in class and discussion of the collected data and results Feedback and evaluation of the course, future directions Learning activities, learning methods Lectures, practical classes, group assignments, research planning and execution.

Evaluation of outcomes Learning requirements, mode of evaluation and criteria of evaluation: The final grade will be based on quality of the literature summary of a chosen topic planning and execution of a pilot study activity on the classes.
