Key result
Higher levels of self-efficacy predicted success in controlling heart rate increase without biofeedback, but not with biofeedback training.
Why the study?
Does self-efficacy predict success in controlling heart rate increase with and without biofeedback in adult subjects?
Does self-efficacy predict success in controlling heart rate increase with and without biofeedback in adult subjects?
Self-efficacy predicts the ability to control heart rate increases without biofeedback, but this predictive value is lost when biofeedback is used.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Self-efficacy may guide non-biofeedback HR control training selection; leaves open whether biofeedback equalizes outcomes across patients.
The usefulness of self-efficacy as a predictor of success in controlling heart rate increase with and without biofeedback was investigated in an experimental study on 60 adult subjects. The first part of the study measured heart rate increase control without biofeedback training, the second part measured heart rate increase control with biofeedback training and a posttest measured subsequent heart rate increase control without biofeedback. The results revealed that higher levels of self-efficacy were predictive of success in controlling heart rate increase without biofeedback, but not with biofeedback.

Heffernan-colman et al. (1991) studied this question. Self-efficacy vs. Lower levels of self-efficacy was evaluated on Success in controlling heart rate increase. Higher levels of self-efficacy predicted success in controlling heart rate increase without biofeedback, but not with biofeedback training.
