RESUMO
The cardiovascular (CV) response to social challenge and stress is associated with the etiology of cardiovascular diseases. New ways of communication, time pressure and different types of information are common in our society. In this study, the cardiovascular response to two different tasks (open vs. closed information) was examined employing different communication channels (computer-mediated vs. face-to-face) and with different pace control (self vs. external). Our results indicate that there was a higher CV response in the computer-mediated condition, on the closed information task and in the externally paced condition. These role of these factors should be considered when studying the consequences of social stress and their underlying mechanisms.

Las respuestas cardiovasculares (CV) en situaciones de estrés y reto han sido asociadas a diversos trastornos cardiovasculares, de alta prevalencia en las sociedades actuales. El empleo de nuevos canales de comunicación, el ritmo acelerado y el tipo de información manejada son potenciales factores moduladores de la respuesta psicofisiológica a situaciones comunes en nuestra sociedad, como la cooperación en grupos de trabajo. En este estudio se ha analizado la respuesta cardiovascular ante dos tareas (con información abierta vs cerrada), realizadas mediante distintos canales de comunicación (mediado por ordenador vs cara a cara) y con o sin presión temporal. Los datos muestran mayor frecuencia cardíaca y presión arterial sistólica en la condición mediada por ordenador, con información cerrada y con presión temporal. Estos factores deberán tenerse en cuenta en el estudio de las consecuencias del estrés social y de los mecanismos subyacentes(AU)
