 Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of mental sweating as a physiological index in the activities in which inner stresses build up.

 Methods: This study included 28 healthy volunteers. We measured the change of mental sweating in the Uchida-Kraepelin performance test using a perspiration meter SKD-1000. We had the date of mental sweating following periods: 1)the previous rest time; 2) the first 15 minutes of test time; 3) rest time; 4) second 15 minutes test time; and 5) rest time after finishing.

 Results: The results showed that the value of mental sweating in the first 15 minutes of the test was significantly higher compared with other performance times. And after the first 15 minutes, the value of mental sweating showed a tendency to decrease. In addition, there was a difference between males and females in mental sweating. The highest value of mental sweating in males was observed in the first 15 minutes of the test. However, females showed the highest value of mental sweating at rest time.

 Conclusion: The results of our study suggested that therapists should consider the sex difference when activity for patients, such as occupational therapy, is used as intervention.
