Figures 2a-d — Mean wheal diameter for all positive allergens as a function of anxiety, plotted separately by stress and control condition for skin tests immediately after (2a,b) and the morning following (2c,d) the GCRC session; all SPT data are expressed as the difference between the allergen response and the concurrent saline control. Plotted points are unadjusted wheal diameter observations and lines are baseline-adjusted regressions of mean wheal on anxiety. Anxiety heightened the magnitude of SPT wheals following the stressor, and higher anxiety was associated with larger wheals on the day after both the stressor and control tasks.
