Abstract
In this paper we examine two well-controlled experiments where order effects were shown under stress. We show that for only one of those experiments the QQ equality of Wang and Busemeyer [21] seems to be fairly satisfied (under independence assumptions). Since the experiment satisfying QQ measures physiological variables, this may suggest that quantum order effect outside human judgment models.

The assumption of statistical independence are possibly false. However, it is not possible to reconstruct the joint probability from the marginals without some additional assumptions.
