Cardiovascular Reactivity to Forgiveness in Females
… relating forgiveness to physiological markers of cardiovascular health based on the manner in which individuals respond to interpersonal offenses. Extant literature has identified the harmful effects of stress in cardiovascular disease and health in general and unforgiveness has been identified as …

Cardiovascular Reactivity in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Depression
Exaggerated cardiovascular reactivity (CVR) to stress has been implicated in the increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), yet mixed results have been reported. The CVR research may have been confounded by underrepresentation of women, …

Women, anger, and cardiovascular reactivity to interpersonal conflict
… examined differences in affective response and cardiovascular reactivity (CVR) in 42 women who were exposed to one of two harassment protocols; (i) Self-Harass, where participants were themselves harassed during a math task, (ii) Friend-Harass, where participants observed the harassment of a …

Cardiovascular reactivity in African American male college students
The literature which exists concerning cardiovascular reactivity is limited in terms of its applicability to African American males' responses to such chronic stressors as racism. The present study set forth to study empirically the cognitive and physiological responsivity of young African American …

The Associations Between Values, Committed Action, And Cardiovascular Reactivity
… and committed action on acute responses (e.g., cardiovascular reactivity) to stress. The purpose of the present study was to examine the association between values, committed action, and physiological responses to stress. Participants were 107 students from a public university in the …

Controlling for Acute Caffeine Intake in Cardiovascular Reactivity Research
Caffeine substantially affects cardiovascular functioning, yet wide variability exists in caffeine control procedures in cardiovascular reactivity (CVR) research. This study was conducted in order to identify a minimal abstention duration in habitual coffee consumers whereby CVR is unconfounded by …

Potential relations between extraversion and cardiovascular reactivity during laboratory stressors
… was designed to examine the relation between cardiovascular reactivity to stress and the behaviors of individuals classified as either "extraverts" or "introverts." Although experimental psychophysiological studies have been conducted to examine the relation between extraversion and …

Anger and denial as predictors of cardiovascular reactivity in women
Behavioral and physiological reactivity, and its relationship to cardiovascular disease has been studied in men for a number of years, and the expression of anger has been identified as a possible contributing factor. Few studies, however, have focused specifically on the reactivity of women, and …

Anger Expression, Harassment, and Evaluation: Cardiovascular Reactivity and Recovery to Mental Stress
… both of these constructs to CHD, as well as to cardiovascular reactivity (CVR) to stressors likely to give rise to CHD. A potential moderating influence discussed in the CVR literature concerns the issue of anger provocation, whereas assessment of the ability to evaluate the source of …

Interpersonal Complementarity and Cardiovascular Reactivity in Younger, Middle-Aged, and Older Adult Couples
Objective: Marital distress confers risk for poor cardiovascular outcomes, largely through cardiovascular reactivity. The complementarity principle, which highlights reciprocity of behavior during interpersonal interactions, may improve our understanding of behavioral patterns that confer decreased …

Gender differences in cardiovascular reactivity: effects of the gender relevance of the stressor
… research suggests that sex differences in cardiovascular reactivity (CVR) are a function of differences in cognitive appraisal of stressors as masculine-relevant or feminine-relevant tasks. Two studies were conducted to examine the role of the appraised gender relevance of stressors as a …

The Association of Cognitive Function with Autonomic-Cardiovascular Reactivity to and Recovery From Stress
… of cognitive function may affect autonomic-cardiovascular reactivity and recovery to psychologically stressful tasks as such reactions, over time, may contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease.</p> <p>The current study analyzed data from 209 healthy middle-age adults. This …

Effects of acute aerobic exercise on cardiovascular reactivity to stress in healthy, untrained males
… the effects of acute aerobic exercise (AE) on cardiovascular reactivity (CVR) to a non-exercise stressor. Nineteen untrained, healthy male volunteers were stratified on diastolic blood pressure (DBP) response to the cold pressor test (CPT), then randomly assigned to either a minimal exercise …

Cardiovascular Reactivity to and Recovery from Laboratory Tasks in Low and High Worry Women
… of worry have been related to exaggerated cardiovascular reactivity and delayed recovery to laboratory stressors, and to increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Previous research on the anxiety-cardiovascular system relationship, including data from Knepp and Friedman (2008), are included …

The effect of an aerobic training program on cardiovascular reactivity to the cold pressor test
… ≤ 16 METs and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) reactivity to the cold pressor test ≥ 5 mm Hg were randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group was asked to participate in an aerobic exercise session 4 d/wk for 8 weeks, consisting of walking/jogging …

Effects of gender and gender role on cardiovascular reactivity and anger experience during an interpersonal interaction
… examined gender and gender role differences in cardiovascular reactivity and anger experience during an interpersonal interaction. Ninety-six participants interacted in dyads (traditional masculine men with traditional feminine women, and androgynous men with androgynous women). Agency (degree …

Investigating The Effects Of Obesity On Cardiovascular Reactivity And Recovery From Acute Physical And Psychological Stress
… its importance as an independent risk factor in cardiovascular dysfunction. By operationalizing chronic stress as obesity, we sought to explore the relationship between obesity and cardiovascular responses to laboratory stressors, including recovery from stress. Further, we examined five …

The Interaction of Smoking and Stress on Cardiovascular Reactivity as Influenced by Hostility, Anger, and Anxiety
… how smoking and stress interact to affect the reactivity of the cardiovascular system. Findings revealed that subjects who smoked first and who were then exposed to stress showed less cardiovascular reactivity (CVR) to stress compared to non-smoking subjects exposed only to stress. However, the …

PTSD Subtypes, Depressive Presentation, Dissociation, and Cognitive Appraisals and Their Impact on Cardiovascular Reactivity Responses to Stress
… (MDD) are related to an increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD), with links to ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction, cardiac mortality, and other cardiac conditions. Given that these disorders are associated with increased medical costs, disability, and employer burden, …

The prediction of cardiovascular reactivity from a measure of hostility: Moderating influences of narcissism and self-involvement
… moderate the effects of hostility in predicting cardiovascular reactivity among a sample of college age males. An ancillary aspect of the study investigated the construct validity of self reference density in subjects' speech as a measure of self involvement. One hundred twelve male college …
