“…This suggestion that tonic HR changes in response to behavioral demands is also supported by the observation that HRs among all animals generally decreased substantially following their initial introduction to social groupings (i.e., weeks 1 and 4 of the first social reorganization) and again across the 26 months of the experiment. Finally, the general hypothesis that social status influences HR (rather than the reverse) is consistent with the observation of Cherkovich and Tatoyan [1973] that the HRs of subordinate rhesus monkeys and baboons fell as animals dominant to them were removed from their social groups.…”

The relationship between social status and telemetrically recorded heart rate (HR) was studied among 29 adult male cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) which had been maintained in six social groups (n = four or five) for 26 months. The membership of each group was reorganized periodically (20 times in 26 months) by shifting monkeys from group to group in a way that maximized each animal's exposure to social strangers. The social behavior of all animals was monitored, via focal sampling, twice per week; social status was based on the outcome of agonistic encounters and was determined every 2 weeks. For four nights on each of two occasions (months 13 and 25 of the experiment), the HRs of all animals were sampled 12 times per hour, 30 seconds per sample between 1800 h and 0900 h. A more limited nocturnal HR sampling was performed during the first month of the experiment. The behavioral observations revealed that, despite the repeated social reorganization, some monkeys were habitually dominant in their groups while others were consistently subordinate. Further, those monkeys falling above the median in dominance status had significantly lower HRs than their subordinate counterparts (104 vs. 117 beats per minute; P = 0.01). The effect was observed irrespective of the month in which observations were made, and was corroborated by more limited observations made at the beginning of the experiment. Finally, those few monkeys which rose or fell in rank were characterized by inverse changes in HR, supporting the hypothesis that behavioral factors influence HR (rather than visa versa).

“…Furthermore, when dominance is experimentally manipulated, heart rate reduces as dominance increases. Similar relationships have been found in macaques, baboons, and tree-shrews (Cherkovich & Tatoyan, 1973;Holst, 1986).…”

“…The association between low heart rate and criminal and antisocial behavior has been found across different species of animals, cultures, and genders [37,46,89,103,107,116] and independently of potential confounds such as height, weight, smoking, and physical exercise [2,35,77]. Furthermore, heart rate is diagnostically specific, as low resting heart rate is associated with conduct disorder, but not with other psychiatric conditions [116].…”

Purpose Although there is an extensive body of research on the relationship between autonomic measures of physiological arousal and crime and delinquency, little effort has been made to incorporate autonomic arousal into criminological theories. This article examines the empirical literature on the associations between autonomic arousal and key constructs that are included in developmental and life-course theories, including temperament, cognition, life events, and family factors. Method For an illustrative approach, this article specifically focuses on two measures of physiological arousal, heart rate and skin conductance. Results Salient features of the literature include empirical findings that suggest that social factors can affect autonomic functioning and that autonomic arousal levels can contribute to individual differences in psychological risk factors for offending. Conclusions A biopsychosocial model is proposed to show how autonomic arousal can be incorporated into extant criminological theories. If autonomic measures of arousal are included in future developmental and life-course research, the explanation and prediction of offending will be increased.
