Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of lumbar EMG during static and dynamic activity in pain-free normals: implications for muscle scanning protocols.

TL;DR: This research extends the understanding of the relationship of social contact theory to stigma in a sample of mainly African American college students by finding that when participants from the high contact group imagined interacting with people labeled as schizophrenic they exhibited significant decreases in total peripheral resistance (TPR), the challenge pattern, compared to their reactions when they imagined interaction with unstigmatized people.
