“…Our hypothesis that this diminished response to threat-a signature of HSS (De Pascalis et al, 2007;Joseph et al, 2009;Kruschwitz et al, 2012)-would be associated with a heightened threshold for threat perception, was supported by behavioral results on the Ambiguous Threat Detection Task, taken during the same 15 minute window preceding the skydive. As shown in Fig.…”

“…This study was designed to test whether one hallmark feature of HSSreduced response to threat (De Pascalis et al, 2007;Joseph et al, 2009;Kruschwitz et al, 2012)-is predicted by prefrontal-limbic dysregulation, via its effect on threat perception. We recruited a cohort of first-time tandem skydivers-individuals who all willingly chose recreational exposure to physical risk.…”

“…Low resting HR has been associated with high levels of impulsivity or low levels of inhibition and with high levels of sensation and novelty seeking in adolescents and adults. [12][13][14] Previous studies on the relationship between personality and ASB show that both low inhibition and sensation seeking have been linked to aggression and rulebreaking. 15 Likewise, low inhibition in childhood has been shown to lead to rule-breaking in adolescence and to aggression in general.…”

Mediation of sensation seeking and behavioral inhibition on the longitudinal relationship between heart rate and antisocial behavior Sijtsema, Jelle J.; Veenstra, Rene; Lindenberg, Siegwart; van Roon, Arie M.; Verhulst, Frank C.; Ormel, Johan; Riese, Harriette Take-down policy If you believe that this document breaches copyright please contact us providing details, and we will remove access to the work immediately and investigate your claim.Downloaded from the University of Groningen/UMCG research database (Pure): http://www.rug.nl/research/portal. For technical reasons the number of authors shown on this cover page is limited to 10 maximum. Objective: Why is low resting heart rate (HR) associated with antisocial behavior (ASB), i.e., aggression and rule breaking, in adolescence? Theory suggests that personality traits mediate this relationship but differently with age. In the present study this age-effect hypothesis is tested; we expected that the relationship between HR and aggression would be mediated in preadolescence by the personality trait behavioral inhibition, but not by sensation seeking. However, the relationship between HR and rule breaking in adolescence was predicted to be mediated by sensation seeking, but not by behavioral inhibition. Hypotheses were tested separately for boys and girls. Method: HR in supine position was assessed in repondents to the TRacking Adolescents' Individual Lives Survey (TRAILS) (N ϭ 1,752; 48.5% boys) at age 11 years. Rule breaking and aggression at age 16 were assessed with two subscales from the Youth Self Report (YSR) questionnaire. Personality (i.e., sensation seeking and behavioral inhibition) was measured at ages 11, 13.5, and 16 with the Early Adolescent Temperament Questionnaire-Revised (EATQ-R), Behavioral Inhibition System/ Behavioral Activation System (BIS/BAS) scales, or NEO Personality-Index Revised (NEO-PI-R). Results: In boys, lower HR was associated with aggression and rule breaking in adolescence. The association between HR and rule breaking was mediated by sensation seeking in adolescence but not in preadolescence. Girls' HR was not associated with ASB, and no mediating effects were found. Conclusions: Our findings support the age-effect hypothesis in boys' rule breaking behavior. This shows that the association between HR and ASB depends on age, gender, and subtype of ASB. J. Am.

“…The positive association between heart rate and behavioral inhibition has also been observed longitudinally [79]. Although evidence of a low arousal-high sensation seeking relationship is less consistent in females [152,153] and for the measure of skin conductance [45], empirical studies have found substantial support for the relationship between low autonomic arousal and a more daring temperament.…”

“…Low resting heart rate has been linked to lower inhibition or high risk-taking behavior in children and adolescents [110,123,134] as well as adults [45,96,132], even after controlling for a number of variables. A similar pattern of results has been found for arousal measured during a task.…”

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.
