Abstract

Sensing and monitoring changes in our heart rate is a key aspect of interoception. We introduce and test the construct validity of the Heart Rate Matching task (HRM), a novel, fast and accessible task designed to assess the ability to estimate heart rate, in both remote (i.e., online) and in-lab settings. In the first lab experiment, under- and over-estimations of the heart rate were not significantly correlated with two interoceptive tasks designed to assess perception of individual heartbeats; the adapted Heartbeat Counting and the Multi-Interval Heartbeat Discrimination tasks. A second experiment conducted online in a large sample, found moderate significant correlations between Heart Rate Matching and the original Heartbeat Counting task. The HRM also correlated with a matched exteroceptive task, highlighting involvement of shared multi-sensory integration processes. The third experiment demonstrated good test-retest reliability of the HRM and moderate correlations with the Heart Rate Discrimination task, also thought to assess the estimation of heart rate. Taken together, these data suggest acceptable validity and moderate reliability of the Heart Rate Matching task and fit with an interpretation of the task as a measure of heart rate beliefs.

心率匹配任务的效度和信度：一种新的心率估计方法。

感知和监测心率的变化是内感受的一个关键方面。我们介绍并测试了心率匹配任务（HRM）的结构有效性，这是一种新颖，快速和可访问的任务，旨在评估在远程（即在线）和实验室设置中估计心率的能力。在第一个实验室实验中，低估和高估心率与两项旨在评估个人心跳感知的内感受性任务没有显著相关；自适应心跳计数和多间隔心跳判别任务。在网上进行的另一项大样本实验发现，心率匹配和最初的心跳计数任务之间存在适度的显著相关性。人力资源管理还与匹配的外感受性任务相关，突出了共享的多感觉整合过程的参与。第三个实验表明，人力资源管理具有良好的重测信度，并且与心率辨别任务（也被认为是评估心率估计的任务）有适度的相关性。综上所述，这些数据表明心率匹配任务具有可接受的有效性和适度的可靠性，并且符合将该任务解释为心率信念的测量。

期刊介绍： Founded in 1964, Psychophysiology is the most established journal in the world specifically dedicated to the dissemination of psychophysiological science. The journal continues to play a key role in advancing human neuroscience in its many forms and methodologies (including central and peripheral measures), covering research on the interrelationships between the physiological and psychological aspects of brain and behavior. Typically, studies published in Psychophysiology include psychological independent variables and noninvasive physiological dependent variables (hemodynamic, optical, and electromagnetic brain imaging and/or peripheral measures such as respiratory sinus arrhythmia, electromyography, pupillography, and many others). The majority of studies published in the journal involve human participants, but work using animal models of such phenomena is occasionally published. Psychophysiology welcomes submissions on new theoretical, empirical, and methodological advances in: cognitive, affective, clinical and social neuroscience, psychopathology and psychiatry, health science and behavioral medicine, and biomedical engineering. The journal publishes theoretical papers, evaluative reviews of literature, empirical papers, and methodological papers, with submissions welcome from scientists in any fields mentioned above.
