Description
Our lab has conducted multiple experiments examining the effects of personality on the ability to process stress, which has been demonstrated to differentially require right hemisphere resources. We have consistently found sex differences across experiments, including the ability to complete a spatial task after consuming caffeine (Holland et al., 2014), and the ability to complete a motor task upon exposure to emotional stress, (Newton et al., 2014). The current research is a comparison of two experiments examining changes in the ability of the right hemisphere to regulate two stressors concurrently in women with high levels of trait hostility (experiment one) and trait anxiety (experiment two).
