Does autonomic nervous system reactivity moderate the relationship between child temperament and emotion regulation in preschoolers?

Population

62 4.5-year-old children (31 females)

Intervention

Measurement of respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) and pre-ejection period (PEP) in reaction to an interaction with an unfamiliar person and a cognitive test

Comparator

Baseline measurements

Outcome

Ability to self-regulate emotion in response to a disappointmentsurrogate

Reciprocal sympathetic activation appears to be an adaptive form of autonomic control for emotion regulation in preschoolers.
