Experimentally manipulated touch from partner and from stranger

Both partner of romantic couples took part in a facial emotion recognition task and received false feedback that they had done poorly. During this task, they were either touch by their partner, an opposite-gender stranger or not touched (control condition). We assessed baseline and post-test affective state and cardiovascular activity (heart rate frequency and variability).浪漫伴侣双方均参与了面部情绪识别任务，并收到了自身表现不佳的虚假反馈。任务过程中，被试分别接受伴侣触碰、异性陌生人触碰，或未接受触碰（对照组条件）。本研究评估了被试的基线与测试后情绪状态，以及心血管活动指标（心率频率与心率变异性）。
