“…The effects of emotion suppression strategies targeting other responses, like physiological activation, have also been investigated. Results of these studies show that voluntarily decreasing respiratory rate reduces both physiological activation (see review in Conde Pastor, Menéndez, Sanz, & Vila Abad, 2008) and anxious experience (McCaul, Solomon, & Holmes, 1979). A study systematically comparing these two regulation strategies (Dan-Glauser & Gross, 2011) showed that, in the context of picture viewing, these strategies differed in important ways.…”

One of the central tenets of emotion theory is that emotions involve coordinated changes across experiential, behavioral, and physiological response domains. Surprisingly little is known, however, on how the strength of this emotion coherence is altered when people try to regulate their emotions. To address this issue, we recorded experiential, behavioral, and physiological responses while participants watched negative and positive pictures. Cross-correlations were used to quantify emotion coherence. Study 1 tested how two types of suppression (expressive and physiological) influence coherence. Results showed that both strategies decreased the response coherence measured in negative and positive contexts. Study 2 tested how multi-channel suppression (simultaneously targeting expressive and physiological responses) and acceptance influence emotion coherence. Results again showed that suppression decreased coherence. By contrast, acceptance was not significantly different from the unregulated condition. These findings help to clarify the nature of emotion response coherence by showing how different forms of emotion regulation may differentially affect it.

“…Other studies have considered respiratory control, a parameter we have strong awareness of and that can be regulated without too much effort or training (Ley, 1999). Voluntary decreases in respiratory rate have been found to reduce both arousal (see review in Conde Pastor, Javier Menéndez, Sanz, & Vila Abad, 2008) and anxious experience (McCaul, Solomon, & Holmes, 1979). Other research has also shown that focused breathing triggers the maintenance of a positive attitude toward neutral images, as compared to worry or unfocused attention (Arch & Craske, 2006).…”

This study examines the early affective consequences of two close forms of suppression. Participants (N=37) were shown negative, positive, and neutral pictures and cued either to attend to the pictures, or to perform expressive or physiological suppression (i.e. reduce body reactions). Continuous measures of experience, expressivity, and autonomic responses showed that both suppression strategies produced rapid response modulation. Common effects of the two strategies included a transient increase in negative feeling, a durable decrease in positive feeling, and a decrease in expressivity, cardiovascular activity, and oxygenation. The two strategies were significantly different only in response to positive stimuli, with physiological suppression showing a larger decrease in experience intensity and blood pressure. These results suggest a strong overlap between the two suppression strategies in terms of their early impact on emotional responses.

“…Heart rate variability was widely used as a parameter [11] in most paced breathing experiments and blood pressure variability was also included in some researches. In this study PWTT was used instead of blood pressure, as it has been reported that the changes of PWTT can predict changes in blood pressure [10].…”

Slow and regular breathing can make beneficial effects on cardiovascular system and autonomic nerve system. Many researches studied the cardiovascular variabilities under paced breathing rate of 0.25 Hz and 0.1 Hz, but few quantitative data are available describing the relationships between the cardiovascular variables during the slow and regular breathing procedure, and mechanism of the beneficial effects behind the slow breathing is still unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between the cardiovascular variables with a gradually paced breathing rate from 14BPM to 7BPM. 13 of 16 volunteer's experiment data were analyzed. RR and PWTT interval, baseline changes of RR interval and PWTT, Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), and cross-correlation function between PWTT and RR were calculated. With the breathing rate from 14BPM to 7BPM gradually, RR interval changed from 170(170 46) ms to 261(261 93) ms, PWTT changed from 11(11 5) ms to 23 (23 7) ms, RSA changed from 103(103 37) ms to 202(202 97) ms, the baseline changes in RR interval ranged from 865(865 94) ms to 868(868 92) ms, the baseline changes in PWTT ranged from 160(160 16) ms to 167(167 13) ms, The mean correlation function r ranged from 0.70 to 0.78 with a maximum amplitude of r = +0.78, with the offset in RR changes leading (-PWTT) changes by quarter-beat as the breathing rate below 11BPM. We conclude that cardiovascular variabilities get increased during this gradually paced breathing with breathing rate from 14BPM to 7BPM and the baseline of PWTT gets enhanced with the breathing rate getting lowed, but the baseline of RR interval changes little. Gradually paced breathing from 14BPM to 7BPM can make effect on the baseline change of PWTT, the baseline changes of PWTT can be regarded as an effective parameter to evaluate the cardiovascular reaction to slow and regular breathing practice.
