Abstract
Everyone experience stress during their lifetime, and it is seen that students very often become stressed when it comes time for them to take exams. Along with the stress they may be feeling, students may also exhibit physical symptoms associated with mental stress. This study looks to see cognitive stress induced from a puzzle game inflicts different physical responses in students coming from different backgrounds. Because students often have to take some courses that are different from what their discipline is, this study aims to find out if because of different backgrounds, students will show different physical responses when faced with a puzzle game. Results showed that on average, engineering students had the smallest change from their baseline to their testing physiological measures and performed better on the puzzle.
