Key result
Resting vagally mediated heart rate variability serves as a broad biomarker for adaptive functioning, though its specificity and underlying mechanisms require further elaboration.
Why the study?
Theory and research on self-regulation, emotional adjustment, and interpersonal processes increasingly focus on parasympathetic functioning via vagally mediated heart rate variability, prompting a review of models, measurement, and analysis issues.

Supports resting vagally mediated heart rate variability as broad research biomarker of adaptability; leaves open specificity and mechanisms before clinical use.
The review highlights the role of vagally mediated heart rate variability as a biomarker for adaptive functioning and calls for greater conceptual and methodological rigor in future psychophysiological research.
Smith et al. (2020) conducted a review in Vagally mediated heart rate variability in self-regulation and emotion. Vagally mediated heart rate variability (vmHRV) was evaluated. Resting vagally mediated heart rate variability serves as a broad biomarker for adaptive functioning, though its specificity and underlying mechanisms require further elaboration.
