With a special method of scoring irregularities in the spirogram tracing, Finesinger found the highest degree of irregularity in patients with manifest anxiety,
particularly as far as sighing respirations and major fluctuations (large waves in the tracings) are concerned. Lowest mean scores were found in schizophrenics and normal persons, whereas the mean values of hysterics and persons suffering from depressions fell between the extremes.
