A method and apparatus are provided to quantify psychological and physiological components to measure acute stress in humans, in which a stimulus can be applied to the test subject's environment during the test. The method involves multiple stress/relaxation intervals while physiological measurements are taken and "measured," and involves questionnaires that are answered after each of the intervals to "measure" the test subject's psychological state. A computerized testing apparatus acquires the physiological measurements, and also is used by the test subject in answering the questionnaires. The "stimulus" can be a fragrance, flavor, product, or task, and a "blank stimulus" is normally used during one of the stress intervals.
L'invention porte sur un procédé et sur un appareil permettant de quantifier des composantes psychologiques et physiologiques afin de mesurer le stress aigu chez l'homme, procédé selon lequel on applique un stimulus à l'environnement du sujet au cours du test. Le procédé comprend plusieurs intervalles de stress/relaxation pendant la prise des mesures physiologiques, ainsi que des questionnaires auxquels le sujet répond après chaque intervalle de prise de mesure de l'état psychologique du sujet. Un appareil de test informatisé collectant les mesures physiologiques est également utilisé par le sujet pour répondre aux questionnaires. Le "stimulus" peut être, un parfum, un arôme, un produit ou une tâche, et un "stimulus à blanc" est normalement utilisé pendant l'un des intervalles de stress.
