“…High levels of tonic RSA reflect greater variability or greater differences in cardiac interbeat intervals between inhalation and exhalation (Katona & Jih, 1975). While in a state of relative quiescence, tonic RSA is thought to reflect a general psychophysiological flexibility or preparedness for adaptation should conditions in the physical or social environment require a different response (Beauchaine, 2001;Butler, Wilhelm, & Gross, 2006;Demaree, Robinson, Everhart, & Schmeichel, 2004;Friedman & Thayer, 1998;Porges, 1992). Conversely, low tonic RSA reflects rigidity or a diminished capacity for flexible responsivity (Ode, Hilmert, Zielke, & Robinson, 2010).…”

Many transformations that occur in adolescence are related to emotion and emotion regulation, yet very little is known about the autonomic underpinnings of these changes. The aim of the study was to document age-related differences in autonomic responses to social stress and relations to emotion regulation. Ninety-nine female adolescents engaged in a paced breathing and a spontaneous speech task while electrocardiography measurements were taken. Spectral decomposition of the heart period data was used to create measures of sympathetic and parasympathetic activity. Results revealed a positive correlation between age and sympathetic activity and a negative correlation between age and parasympathetic activity. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the age-related norms of cardiac variability across adolescence.

“…Specifically, the right hemisphere model proposes that perception of emotion results in cortical activation of the right temporal region and subsequent expression or inhibition of expression of emotion is demonstrated by increased right frontal activation (Heilman and Bowers 1990). Empirical support for this model comes from electroencephalography and neuroimaging studies which have demonstrated greater activation of the right temporal region during presentation of emotionally valenced stimuli (e.g., Davidson and Schwartz 1977), perception of emotional faces (Tabert et al 2001;Vanderploeg et al 1987), generation of negative facial affect (Kestenbaum and Nelson 1992), and recognition of affective prosody (Demaree et al 2004).…”

The current review examined the research and current models of anger from three distinct literatures: psychophysiology, neuropsychology and the cognitive-behavioral perspective. Two primary conceptual difficulties are addressed in this review. First, the debate over how and when to differentiate between anger and hostility is discussed. Second, the issue regarding cognitive or emotional dominance or primacy in the experience of anger is considered. Once the conceptual ambiguity is addressed, data from the cognitive-behavioral, psychophysiological and neuropsychological literatures are reviewed with a focus on issues of laterality. Particular attention is given to research of appraisal theory from the cognitive literature, cortical arousal and related cerebral models from the psychophysiological literature, and functional cerebral systems from the neuropsychological literature. Despite significant differences appearing both within and between the bodies of literature, when viewed without the traditional ambiguity surrounding this topic, there appears to be a great deal of overlap which may be conducive to the construction of a unified theoretical model. Such a model is proposed in the final section of this paper.

“…De même, le stress et la douleur réduisent le tonus vagal. Une diminution du tonus parasympathique a été observée chez les personnes qui ont des difficultés à réguler leurs émotions et leurs réponses comportementales aux situations stressantes [9,10]. Pendant une intervention chirurgicale, l'analyse de la VFC est corrélée à la balance entre nociception et niveau d'analgésie [24].…”

“…Des études ont montré que les fluctuations de la fréquence cardiaque au-delà de 0,15 Hertz (Hz) dépendaient du système parasympathique [7,8]. Chez l'adulte, les phéno-mènes douloureux, de peur ou d'anxiété sont accompagnés d'une diminution de la VFC dans les hautes fréquences (> 0,15 Hz) indiquant une diminution du tonus vagal au cours de stimuli ou d'émotions déplaisants [9][10][11]. Pendant une intervention chirurgicale, la VFC est corrélée à la balance entre nociception et niveau d'analgésie [12].…”
