Reverse techniques as a means of increasing the validity of the cardio-oculometric diagnostics

Abstract

The article presents empirical data confirming the validity of our assumption that the use of reverse modes in operations with visual stimuli presented on the eyetracker screen allows us effectively assessing the degree of respondents’ honesty in work. It is shown that the combination of modes "authentic view" with the "reverse view" significantly facilitates performing all tests by the respondents, simplifies the procedure of their self-determination in their personal choice and makes their participation in research an interesting and attracting event. It is noted that a comparison of the gaze parameters obtained in these modes can serve as an additional indicator of the degree of subjective significance of various visual stimuli elements for respondents. It is also shown that the use of reverse modes, visual stimuli of personal orientation, active participation of respondents in the discussion of all oculometric and oculographic data obtained therewith increases the motivation of interviewees to validate various types of information content and confidential discussion of even unpopular questions

Cardiometric support of visual kinetic modeling

“…At the same time, in post-test conversations, they, as a rule, described their feelings during the transition from metaphors of their conditionally inherent temperament to metaphorical images of a completely unusual temperament for them as an unpleasant excitation. Previously, similar results were obtained by us when assessing the possibility of using heart rate variability indicators to reveal hidden information and determine the subjective preferences of the test subjects [2,6,7,9,[16][17][18][19][20].…”

“…The number of studies on the effectiveness of VKM, using not only conventional tests, but also employing modern instrumental methods for objective monitoring of the psycho-physiological state of clients, has been gradually increasing [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Thus, applying proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy, a positive change in the metabolic processes in the brain was shown in patients suffering from Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD -Generalized Anxiety Disorder) after they had completed the Sandplay Therapy (SPT) course [4].…”

The use of cardiometry in development of self-control skills by means of game sand modeling

“…But due to the ambiguity of the relationship between these indicators and the level of formation and expression of self-control, the use of such instrumental techniques has not gone beyond some individual laboratory experiments [2,7]. Meanwhile, our previous studies [5,6,[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] suggest that progress in the formation and development of self-control can be evaluated by assessing heart rate variability using the Bayevsky stress index (SI). In particular, we have made this assumption taking into account the previously detected opportunities to use heart rate variability for assessing various ego states of a person as well as the readiness to successfully overcome stressful situations.…”

“…In particular, we have made this assumption taking into account the previously detected opportunities to use heart rate variability for assessing various ego states of a person as well as the readiness to successfully overcome stressful situations. To test this hypothesis, the Game Sand Modeling (GSM) technique has been chosen as a method for the formation and development of self-control, the diagnostic and corrective effectiveness of which is described in detail by us in [1,5]. Within the framework of this study, we have tested not only the capability to assess the degree of formation of self-control skills using heart rate variability.…”

Cardiometric assessment of the subjective significance of personal strategicgoals as components of the image of the desired future

“…The image of the future is one of the key benchmarks, or guidelines, for a modern person, referred to which he/she organizes his/her life, determines his/ her priorities, prepares and implements his/her everyday plans [3,5,7]. But in the formation of such a guideline, each of us, in addition to our own needs, also takes into account that effect that the achievement of the intended result will have on the environment of significance for us.…”
