Physiological Measures Clause Samples
The 'Physiological measures' clause defines the use and collection of data related to participants' bodily functions, such as heart rate, blood pressure, or brain activity, within a research or clinical context. This clause typically outlines what types of physiological data will be gathered, the methods and equipment used, and the purposes for which the data will be analyzed. Its core function is to ensure transparency and informed consent regarding the monitoring of physical responses, thereby protecting participants' rights and clarifying the scope of data collection.
Physiological Measures. The cortisol levels from the salivary samples collected at the beginning of each assessment were regarded as baseline cortisol levels, and the cortisol level changes in response to the administration of the audio clip of a baby’s cry were regarded as reactive cortisol response. The audio clip is a pre-recorded mp3 clip of a real baby’s cry, which lasts for approximately two minutes. The mp3 clip was downloaded from a video clip from Youtube, which is unambiguously a part of the public domain as a matter of law. It was proposed in the current study to serve as an ecologically valid stress stimulus.
Physiological Measures. Several physiological measures were taken at baseline. Table 3 displays some of the physiological variables measured stratified by whether participants had completed the program. Participants who dropped out or were lost to follow-up on average had higher average daily steps (ADS) 7281 versus 6156. BMI tended to be less for non-completers (32.79) than completers (33.32). Total cholesterol was slightly higher in completers (179.04) than non-completers (176.32). Glucose is very similar in both groups. METs are similar as well with completers being slightly higher (7.61) than non-completers (7.53). ADS 7281.91 (3391.75) 6155.88 (2196.35) BMI 32.79 (7.54) 33.32 (8.24) Total Cholesterol 176.32 (32.60) 179.04 (33.62) Glucose 95.83 (24.89) 94.07 (22.05)
