AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how negative and positive cognitive emotion regulation strategies affect heart function during stress in adolescents.
- Eighty-nine participants, mostly around 13 years old, underwent a stress test while their emotion regulation and cardiac responses were monitored.
- Findings reveal that those with a negative emotion regulation style show less heart rate variability and recovery, indicating lower autonomic flexibility during stressful events.
Article Abstract
Background And Objectives: Negative cognitive emotion regulation (ER) strategies are particularly important within the framework of anxiety problems amongst youths and how they cope with stressful events. The aim of this study was to examine the associations between both negative and positive ER style and cardiac regulation under stressful conditions.
Design: Eighty-nine adolescents (M = 13.31 years, SD = 0.68, 44.94% girls) were exposed to a socially relevant stress induction protocol.
Methods: Participants' emotion regulation strategies were assessed and their cardiac function was recorded.
Results: A negative ER style predicted heart rate (HR) entropy at the stressful stage after controlling for anxiety scores. In addition, heart rate variability reactivity and recovery and HR entropy recovery were larger ( < .05) in the low negative ER style group ( = 16) than in the high negative ER style group ( = 23).
Conclusions: Results suggest that individuals with a highly negative ER style have diminished autonomic flexibility.
