Situational variables contain the time of the day. If the experiment was conducted before lunch, the students would feel restless and possibly excited for the upcoming break. The same goes for students having a lesson including exercise the heartbeat will have raised causing the baseline heartbeat to have increased significantly. Leading on from this, mood is considered to be a situational variable as it can depend on the current situation. So continuing from the previous example, mood depends on many factors. Let’s say the PE session was extremely fun and lifted the mood to a more happier state. This can further increase the heart rate and may cause the person to go towards the more tense condition. However, mood can also be thought to be a participant variable as it does depend on the person.
Another factor that is considered to be situational is the Garmin watch quality. Some watches may have run out of battery or have some defects including the heart rate function that could possibly be presenting a different set of results to the other watches.
