Cardiac vagal control and children's adaptive functioning: A meta-analysis
Open accessAbstract
Polyvagal theory has influenced research on the role of cardiac vagal control, indexed by respiratory sinus arrhythmia withdrawal (RSA-W) during challenging states, in children’s self-regulation. However, it remains unclear how well RSA-W predicts adaptive functioning (AF) outcomes and whether certain caveats of measuring RSA (e.g., respiration) significantly impact these associations. A meta-analysis of 44 studies (n = 4,996 children) revealed small effect sizes such that greater levels of RSA-W were related to fewer externalizing, internalizing, and cognitive/academic problems. In contrast, RSA-W was differentially related to children’s social problems according to sample type (community vs. clinical/at-risk). The relations between RSA-W and children’s AF outcomes were stronger among studies that co-varied baseline RSA and in Caucasian children (no effect was found for respiration). Children from clinical/at-risk samples displayed lower levels of baseline RSA and RSA-W compared to children from community samples. Theoretical/practical implications for the study of cardiac vagal control are discussed.

“The empirical data summarized here appear to support the possibility that greater RSA withdrawal contributes to the allocation of metabolic resources. Specifically, increases in heart rate may facilitate the use of attentional abilities, which in turn may aid children in controlling both their behaviors and emotions during challenging states.”

“Although we found evidence for the role of vagal regulation in the social behavior of healthy children (as predicted by the Social Engagement System outlined by Polyvagal Theory), we found the opposite to be true for clinical/at-risk populations, suggesting that the vagal “brake” does not uniformly enhance social functioning across all children.”

High-risk groups have more complex psychological and biological deficits that contribute to their impairment.
“While our mixed findings are unlikely the result of smaller sample sizes for children from clinical/at-risk samples (44% of studies we reviewed contained clinical/at-risk samples), high-risk groups undoubtedly have more complex psychological and biological deficits that contribute to their impairment.”

Baseline RSA represents a general responsiveness measure and provides a ceiling on how much withdrawal a child can engage in during challenging situations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-07, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-07 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
