Abstract

Abstract:The goal of the present study was to test the hypothesis that, when children respond to peer provocation assertively, their physiology at that moment will be marked by high levels of respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA). Participants were 35 European American (66%), African American (27%), Latino American (3%), and mixed race/ethnicity (3%) children (16 girls and 19 boys; M age = 11.35 years) from a Mid-Atlantic state. Children participated in a novel procedure in which they were provoked by and responded to a virtual peer while their RSA was assessed and behavioral responses were observationally coded. When RSA increased by one unit, children were about 17 times more likely to display at least one assertive response. These findings highlight the importance of RSA in children’s calm, composed, and assertive responding to peer provocation, as well as the importance of linking children’s behavior and physiology as they occur at the same moment.

支持儿童对同伴挑衅的建构性反应的心理生理学

摘要：本研究的目的是检验这样一种假设，即当儿童对同伴的挑衅做出自信的反应时，他们当时的生理机能将以高水平的呼吸窦性心律失常（RSA）为标志。参与者包括35名来自中大西洋州的欧洲裔美国人（66%）、非裔美国人（27%）、拉丁裔美国人（3%）和混血儿（3%）（16名女孩和19名男孩；M年龄=1.35岁）。儿童参与了一项新的程序，在该程序中，他们受到虚拟同伴的刺激并对其做出反应，同时对他们的RSA进行评估，并对行为反应进行观察编码。当RSA增加一个单位时，儿童表现出至少一种自信反应的可能性增加了约17倍。这些发现强调了RSA在儿童对同伴挑衅的冷静、沉着和自信反应中的重要性，以及将儿童的行为和生理联系起来的重要性。
