Laboratory tasks elicit varying RSA in male students; leaves open beta-adrenergic reactivity as a modulator.
Do different laboratory stressors elicit different patterns of respiratory sinus arrhythmia in male college students?
Different laboratory stressors elicit distinct parasympathetic responses as measured by respiratory sinus arrhythmia, though baseline beta-adrenergic reactivity does not appear to influence these levels.
Allen et al. (1989) studied this question.
