The present study evaluated the relationship between skin-temperature biofeedback training for a nonclinical child population and several cognitive and developmental factors. 49 children were randomly assigned to control, standard feedback, or novel feedback conditions. State-anxiety, trait-anxiety, and depression scores improved for all groups. Health locus of control scores improved significantly for children receiving standard feedback. Children receiving biofeedback increased skin temperature regardless of their age, sex, or intellectual functioning.
