Abstract

Objective: The purpose of present study was to investigate the effect of inductive fear on the systolic and diastolic of blood pressure levels in solving classified problems of the identification concept (simple, semi complex, complex). Methods: The method of present study was experimental with pretest-posttest design having control groups. The population was undergraduate students from 8 faculties at Azahra University. A sample of 200 students selected randomly and they were assessed by Eysenek personality Inventory (Introversion – extroversion).Then a sample of 60 students who scored moderate on this test drowned as statistical samples, randomly divided into 6 (3 experimental and 3 control) groups of ten people. Each group was under taken one of different levels of concept complexity tasks as well as blood pressures were measured. The experimental groups had inductive fear film between the two sessions. The instruments were 3 different levels of constructed concept cards and as well as personality test. Data were collected by pressure meter. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA test. Findings: The findings showed that fear of systolic blood pressure of the groups in all three levels of homework and on diastolic blood pressure of the groups had a significant effect on two levels of simple and complex tasks (p>0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the mean diastolic blood pressure of the groups in the semi-complex assignments. Conclusion: Regarding the effect of fear on blood pressure, the importance of psychological variables in the prevention and treatment of hypertension is known.
