Resting respiratory sinus arrhythmia buffers against rejection sensitivity via emotion control
Open accessAbstract
Emerging evidence suggests that high resting heart rate variability in the respiratory frequency band, or respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) may capture individual differences in the capacity to engage in situationally appropriate regulation of affect and behavior. The authors therefore hypothesized that high RSA may act as a protective factor against difficulties controlling negative affect and hostile behaviors in conflicts with romantic partners in highly rejection-sensitive individuals--a population otherwise vulnerable to these responses. Results were consistent with this hypothesis such that highly rejection-sensitive participants reported less emotion control and more hostility in conflicts only if they were also low in RSA. Furthermore, emotion control mediated the joint effect of rejection-sensitivity and RSA on hostile conflict behavior. These results are consistent with the argument that resting RSA is a marker of flexible responding in the context of highly emotional situations, and further suggest that it may serve as a protective factor particularly in vulnerable populations.

High resting cardiac vagal control is associated with greater resiliency to daily life stressors and improved coping during social relationship conflicts.
“high resting CVC has been associated with greater resiliency in the face of daily life stressors (Fabes & Eisenberg, 1997) and with improved coping with in the midst of social relationship conflicts (Gyurak & Ayduk, 2008).”
From Psychological flexibility as a fundamental aspect of health (2010) · cites this paper as Gyurak & Ayduk, 2008
The Abstract reports better emotion control and less hostility during romantic-partner conflicts among highly rejection-sensitive participants with high resting RSA. The Discussion says RSA was not significantly associated with either outcome in the whole sample, so the claim is too broad without that population qualifier. The daily-life-stressors clause is attributed to Fabes and Eisenberg, not to this paper. (LLM, conf=0.88)

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.
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.
