**DATA RECORDS** ---------------- ---------- This repository has quantitative data, textual data, and ancillary media organized participant-wise; it also holds the custom software tools and other material we used to acquire these data. A detailed account of every piece of data can be found in the "Index Table - Ancillary Data" and "Index Table - Everything Else" spreadsheets. In these tables, 1 stands for data that is included and is valid, -1 stands for data that is included but failed quality control (invalid), 0 for data that is missing, and IRB for media bearing identifying information that the participant asked us to not release. **Quantitative Data Folder** ---------------------------- ---------- The quantitative data folder holds four comma separated value (csv) files, as well as the voluminous thermal imaging data: (1) Questionnaire Data - 5 KB in size. (2) Physiological Data - 21.8 MB in size. (3) Keyboard Data - 42.7 MB. (4) Report Data - 13.9 KB. (5) Thermal Imaging Data - 1.86 TB. The first two columns of the csv files hold the participant ID and group, respectively. The participant ID is coded as $\text{T}_{\text{xyz}}$, while the group assignment takes values from the set [BH, BL, CH, CL]. The remaining csv columns are specific to the corresponding type of data; their description follows. ---------- **Questionnaire Data File** In the Questionnaire Data file, in addition to the columns holding the participant ID (**Column A**) and group information (**Column B**), there are columns holding biographic data (**Columns C - K**) and other columns holding scores from psychometric inventories (**Columns L - Y**).

This is a trait psychometric that predicts health-related outcomes associated with appraised stress (Cohen). **NASA TLX** - A state psychometric administered upon completion of DT to gauge the loading this task induced to participants. NASA TLX (Hart & Staveland) features six sub-scales with common rating [1=Strongly disagree, 2=Disagree, 3=Somewhat disagree, 4=Neither agree or disagree, 5=Somewhat agree, 6=Agree, 7= Strongly agree]. - **Column T: NASA\_Mental\_Demand:** Perceived mental load induced by DT. - **Column U: NASA\_Physical\_Demand:** Perceived physical activity induced by DT. - **Column V: NASA\_Temporal\_Demand:** Perceived time pressure induced by DT. - **Column W: NASA\_Performance:** Perceived success in executing DT. - **Column X: NASA\_Effort:** Perceived amount of work expended to achieve the said level of DT performance. - **Column Y: NASA\_Frustration:** Perceived level of irritation in performing DT. ---------- **Physiological Data File** In the Physiological Data file, in addition to the columns holding the participant ID (**Column A**) and group information (**Column B**), there are columns holding treatment information, task information, timing, and signal data from the various sensing modalities used in the experiment. The recordings of the physiological sensors were synced. Hence, each row from left to right holds the time and the synced set of modal signal values recorded at that time. The temporal resolution is fixed at 1 s across the board to match the slowest physiological channels Chest BR and Chest HR. The main data repository (Data Citation 1) holds the quality controlled values of the physiological variables (**_QC**). The raw variable values and the R code that operates upon them to implement the processes described herein, reside in GitHub (Data Citation 2). In more detail: **Column C: Treatment:** The treatment during which each set of modal signal values was recorded. **Column D: Time:** The recorded date and time for each set of modal signal values. **Column E: Treatment\_Time:** The time elapsed in seconds since the start of the present treatment. **Column F: Task:** Labeling of email vs. report writing activity during DT. **Column G: PP:** Values of the perinasal perspiration signal in $^{\circ}\text{C}^2$. **Column H: EDA:** Values of the EDA signal in $\mu \text{S}$, measured with E4 in the wrist of the participant's non-dominant hand. **Column I: BR:** Values of the breathing rate signal in BPM, measured with the BioHarness in the participant's chest. **Column J: Chest\_HR:** Values of the heart rate signal in BPM, measured with the BioHarness in the participant's chest. **Column K: Wrist\_HR:** Values of the heart rate signal in BPM, measured with E4 in the wrist of the participant's non-dominant hand. ---------- **Keyboard Data File** In the Keyboard Data file, in addition to the columns holding the participant ID (**Column A**), group information (**Column B**), treatment information (**Column C**), time information (**Column D**), and task information (**Column E**), there are columns holding keystroke information.

These sequences can be used for extraction of additional physiological indicators, such as breathing signals (Fei & Pavlidis), the reextraction of perinasal perspiration signals, or other computer vision research. The files holding the thermal imaging sequences are in a binary format called .dat. Each .dat file is accompanied by a text file .inf. The header of each .inf file has three numbers: (1) The number of thermal frames contained in the corresponding .dat file. (2) The width of each thermal frame. (3) The height of each thermal frame. The body of each .inf file contains the timestamps of all thermal frames contained in the corresponding .dat file. The S-Interface uses .inf files to properly open the corresponding .dat files and process them. **Textual Data Folder** ------------------- ---------- **Reports and Emails File** This Excel file holds the ST (**Column C**) and DT (**Column D**) reports of participants, as well as the eight emails they wrote (**Column E** to **Column L**); its size is 124.8 KB. **Ancillary Media Folder** -------------------------- ---------- **Facial Videos** Visual videos of participants' faces during experimentation. They are in mpeg format named as $\text{T}_{\text{xyz}}$-FV.mp4; their total size is 53.6 GB. **Operational Theater Videos** Visual videos of participants' desktop area during experimentation. They are in mpeg format named as $\text{T}_{\text{xyz}}$-OTV.mp4; their total size is 53.6 GB. **Computer Screen Videos** Visual videos of participants' computer screen during experimentation. They are in mpeg format named as $\text{T}_{\text{xyz}}$-CSV.mp4; their total size is 69.1 GB. **Thermal MROI Videos** Videos of participants' perinasal measurement region of interest (MROI) extracted through the S-Interface. The PP signals are computed upon these MROIs. The said videos are in mpeg format named as $\text{T}_{\text{xyz}}$-MROI.mp4; their total size is 3.05 GB. **Tools Folder** ------------ ---------- This folder contains the interfaces, applications, and videos needed to reproduce the present experiment and collect additional data. Specifically: (a) p-Interface for executing the experimental protocol; (b) Stroop application for stress priming in the BH and CH groups; (c) natural landscape video for relaxation priming in the BL and CL groups; (d) panel of judges video delivered to participants during the presentation treatment; (e) Survey Gizmo links for delivery of the experiment’s questionnaires. The only experimental tool that is missing is the S-Interface, which is held in a general purpose repository \cite{Buddharaju:2018}, as it is software with broader applicability. **Data Records of HRV - Supplementary Data Folder** --------------------------------------------------- ---------- Under the Supplementary Data folder, there is a comma separated value (csv) file that holds the HRV data (15.9 MB). In this file, in addition to the columns holding the participant ID (**Column A**) and group information (**Column B**), there are columns holding treatment $|$ task information (**Column C** | **Column D**), absolute | relative timing (**Column E** | **Column F**), and the RR values (**Column G**). As it is the case with all other variables, this repository holds the quality controlled RR values.
