The reliability and the effectiveness of the apparatus for continuous recording of sweating rate (Kenz Perspiro OSS-100) as the apparatus for measuring of the mental stress was discussed. The emotional sweating rates on solving the mathematical problems which were given as the mental stress were measured. The follwing was found out ; (a) The emotional sweating rates per second on solving the mathematical problems correlate with each other. (b) The normal variation of the emotional sweating rates is increasing according to the amount of the mental stress. From these results, the reliability and the effectiveness of the apparatus for continuous recording of sweating rate as the apparatus for measuring of the mental stress was indicated.
