Human emotion is inclusive of experiential, behavioural and physiological components. Research within the humanities has tended to over-emphasize the experiential component through assessments derived from self-report measures and interviews. With advances in wearable technologies the acquisition of moment-to-moment physiological data is now available to a wider audience. Using data collected with the Empatica E4 wristband, the the Situation Specific Arousal Analyzer (SSAA) application supports non-clinical research and analysis into the physiological tracking of autonomic nervous system arousal with a focus on state specific anxiety within foreign language education.
