THE ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPACT OF THE GENETIC AND SOCIOECONOMIC DETERMINANTS ON SCHOOLAGE CHILDREN
Abstract:
The study aims at investigating the role of the genetic and socioeconomic factors on the core
temperature as a measure of psychological stress impact on thermoregulation, taking into account the
involvement of the hypothalamus on thermoregulation and psychological stress. I studied a number of
203 school pupils from the two secondary schools of the city of Sibiu (no. 6 and 21), personally
investigated by measuring the ear drum temperature and by applying a questionnaire. I measured the
ear drum temperature during two different periods of time, on the first day after vacation, seen as a
normal activity period of time and during knowledge evaluation period of time, of maximum stress. The
conclusion of my study was that psychical stress, as a result of knowledge evaluation, determines the
decrease of the core temperature, observed through the ear drum temperature.
