Outline of Final Research Achievements	The aim of present study was to develop the assessment method of mental stress by using palmar electrodermal activity related to the mental sweating. The effectiveness of capacitance compared to the conductance was shown with the significant responses to stress loads and lower coefficient of variance. Furthermore, less reproducibility between subjects was caused by the palmar thickness and the score of type A behavior pattern.
