Stress Responses by Ambivalence over Emotional Expression Based on Heart Rate Variability Analysis
Abstract
To clarify the relationship between individual differences in Ambivalence over Emotional Expression (AE) and autonomic responses in stressful conditions, we used heart rate variability analysis. The participants included 30 normal college students (16 male, 14 female;mean age of 22.9 years) divided into the high and low AE groups based on their AE scores 1standard deviation apart from the mean. The continuous interplay between sympathetic and parasympathetic influences on heart rate under the weak stressor condition (participating in an experiment test) and the strong stressor condition (getting negative performance feedback)was measured to test group differences. Only high AE group showed increased sympathetic activity (LF) under the weak stressor condition, while both groups showed dominant sympathetic influence under the strong stressor condition without a significant group difference. Within subject test result showed a significant interaction effect between the group variable and LF changes. The result indicates that the low AE people showed flexible responses only to an clear stressor that may threat one's self-concept. On the other hand, the high AE people sensitively reacts with increased sympathetic activity not only to the strong stressors but also to the weak stressor, an evaluative situation where the others did not take it as a stressor.
