Summary: | The present study was undertaken with an objective to determine the corroborative
psychophysiological indices related to projective analysis of emotionality. Twenty six (n=26)
male students of Universiti Sains Malaysia in the age ranging from 19 to 23 years volunteered as
participants, who were subjected to evaluation of Psychobiological measures of tonic and phasic
skin conductance activity, along with BRUMS self-report measures of mood states and
projective analyses of emotionality by employing Rorschach Ink-Blot Test. Findings indicated
corroborative relationships between differential psychobiological and mood states measures in
predicting inner core emotionality. Dispositional emotional characteristics such as - excitability,
resilience and constriction as well as tonic and phasic components of skin conductance activity
were found aptly predicted by differential extents of transient facilitative, inhibitive, positive as
well as negative mood state measures and faster orienting latency, which have provided us with a
framework of corroborative emotional make -up.
