SUMMARY In this research, based on the stress coping style as expressed by hemodynamic parameters, we evaluated the modes of television viewing with the aim of estimating different modes of watching television. The central nervous system was assessed by means of electroencephalograms (EEG). The autonomic nervous system was assessed using the nasal skin temperature (NST) and the heart rate variability (HRV) with spectral analysis. In the spectral analysis of the HRV, the high‐frequency components (HF) were evaluated. The cardiovascular system was assessed using the mean pressure (MP), the heart rate (HR), the stroke volume (SV), the cardiac output (CO), and the total peripheral resistance (TPR). The multiple mood scale (MMS) and visual analog scale (VAS) were administered to evaluate psychological status. It was found that modes of television viewing could not be distinguished using only the television content preference. It became clear that the modes of television viewing could be distinguished on the basis of the stress coping style using hemodynamic parameters.
