Systolic Blood Pressure and Heart Rate Changes throughout the Experiment

Systolic blood pressure
 Heart rate
Variable Mean Standard error Mean Standard error
Baseline 125.67 1.85 69.08 1.21
Stroop 140.24 2.44 72.89 1.22
Mental arithmetic 135.72 1.99 71.86 1.15
Recovery 118.01 2.25 67.94 1.13

Note: Comparisons between baseline and Stroop, mental arithmetic, and recovery systolic blood pressures were significant (p<.01); comparisons between baseline, Stroop, mental arithmetic, and recovery heart rates were significant (p<.01).
