Population
96 children (M age = 5.6 years, 56% female) and their parents
Comparison
Levels of independent self-regulated behavior and quality of parent-child co-regulation
Design
Observational laboratory-based study using piecewise growth curve trajectory modeling
Key result
Positive parent-child co-regulation was significantly associated with decreases in children's respiratory sinus arrhythmia while receiving critical feedback from an adult.

Parent-child co-regulation may relate to children's RSA reactivity to feedback; leaves open causality and clinical relevance.
Observational (n=96)
Children's self-regulated behavior and parent-child co-regulation are associated with their physiological reactivity and recovery (measured via RSA) when facing critical adult feedback.
Armstrong‐Carter et al. (2020) reported an observational. Critical adult feedback was evaluated on Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) reactivity and recovery. Positive parent-child co-regulation was significantly associated with decreases in children's respiratory sinus arrhythmia while receiving critical feedback from an adult.
