The role of time perspective and mindfulness on life satisfaction in the United States of America, Spain, Poland and Japan: A cross-cultural study
Partial Predictability in Avoidance Acquisition and Expression of Wistar-Kyoto and Sprague-Dawley Rats: Implications for Anxiety Vulnerability in Uncertain Situations
Individual differences or vulnerabilities must exist which bias some individuals toward psychopathology while others remain resilient in the face of trauma. Recent work has studied the effects of uncertainty on individuals expressing behavioral inhibition (BI). The current study extended this work with uncertainty to Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats which are a behaviorally inhibited inbred strain that models learning vulnerabilities for anxiety disorders…
Cardiovascular Reactivity to Stress Predicts Future Blood Pressure in Adolescence
OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the prospective relationship between cardiovascular reactivity to psychological stress and increases in resting blood pressure across a 3-year period among a multiethnic pediatric sample (N = 149). METHODS: Systolic and diastolic blood pressure; EKG heart rate, pre-ejection period, and mean successive difference of R to R intervals; and impedance-derived measures of cardiac output, stroke volume, and total peripher…

Does Background Stress Heighten or Dampen Children's Cardiovascular Responses to Acute Stress
OBJECTIVE: Does background stress heighten or dampen children's cardiovascular responses to acute stress? METHOD: To address this question, the cardiovascular responses to four acute laboratory stressors of 150 children and adolescents were evaluated according to their self-reported background stress level. Background stress was determined during a standardized interview and was a priori classified according to its importance, frequency, and whet…

Hemodynamic adjustments to laboratory stress: The influence of gender and personality
Exaggerated cardiovascular reactivity to psychological stress is a potential pathophysiological mechanism linking behavior and cardiovascular disease. Because of the recognized gender differences in incidence of cardiovascular disease, potential gender differences in cardiovascular reactivity to laboratory stressors have been evaluated. The current study examined the cardiovascular responses of a total of 42 young women (N = 22) and men (N = 20) …
Do cardiovascular responses to laboratory stress relate to ambulatory blood pressure levels: Yes, in some of the people, some of the time
Because the correspondence between laboratory measures of blood pressure and heart rate responses to stress and ambulatory measures is less than optimal, this study tested two hypotheses: Are ambulatory measures of blood pressure elevated during periods of perceived stress, relative to no stress? Are ambulatory blood pressures elevated during perceived stress among those individuals who exhibit elevated blood pressure and heart rate responses to …
Cluster analyses of cardiovascular responsivity to three laboratory stressors
Seventy-three young normotensive male subjects were tested with an experimental protocol that included a reaction time, a mental arithmetic, and a cold pressor task. Physiological variables that were recorded included heart rate, stroke volume, pre-ejection period, blood pressure, total peripheral resistance, and respiratory sinus arrhythmia. In order to identify subgroups of subjects who differed in their pattern of autonomic responses to the ta…

Methodological Guidelines for Impedance Cardiography
Impedance cardiography was introduced over 20 years ago as a noninvasive and unobtrusive technique for measuring systolic time intervals and cardiac output. Although our understanding of the physiological events reflected in the impedance cardiogram has become more refined, the technique's theoretical basis remains somewhat controversial and acceptance of its validity has relied heavily upon empirical validation. Largely as a consequence of this …
Cardiovascular Responses during Speech: Does Social Support Mediate the Effects of Talking on Blood Pressure
Research by James J. Lynch and his colleagues demonstrates that as people speak, their blood pressure rises. Factors which accelerate or diminish this association include the social status of the listener, rate of speaking and resting blood pressure level. Another group of studies indicates that people high in social support are buffered from the negative health consequences of stressful life events. Is talking a stressor? Does social support med…
