The Effects of Rumination, Hostility, and Distraction on Cardiovascular Reactivity and Recovery From Anger Recall in Healthy Women
<p>Cardiovascular reactivity and recovery following an emotional stressor may play a crucial role in mediating the relation between psychosocial factors (e.g. hostility and anger) and cardiovascular disease. Hostility has been associated with trait rumination. Trait rumination, a tendency to focus …

Reduction of fear arousal in young adults with speech anxiety through elicitation of positive emotions
… emotions has previously been shown to speed cardiovascular recovery, increase attention, and broaden thought-action repertoires compared to elicitation of negative or neutral emotions (Fredrickson et al., 2000). 88 undergraduate students were selected from a screening process based on their …

Cardiovascular Activity During Laboratory Tasks in Individuals with High and Low Worry
… and worry have been related to exaggerated cardiovascular reactivity and delayed recovery to laboratory stressors, and to increased risk of cardiovascular disease. This study examined cardiovascular responses in high and low worriers to a range of laboratory tasks. The aim of this study was …

Obesity Related Perturbations On Cardiovascular, Immune And Endocrine Response To Active And Passive Stress
… leaves individuals vulnerable to disease. Cardiovascular dysfunction represents a consequential effect of obesity. An early indicator of cardiovascular disease is an impaired stress response. Further, the type of stress (active versus passive) may be differentially affected representing …

A Comparison of Relaxation Techniques on Blood Pressure Reactivity and Recovery Assessing the Moderating Effect of Anger Coping Style
… anger coping style and relaxation techniques on cardiovascular reactivity and recovery in blood pressure (BP). Eighty-nine students from Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, Virginia participated. The participants were instructed to rest for ten minutes (baseline), complete a math task …

Interactive Effects of Physical and Mental Workload: A Study of Muscle Function, Capacity and Exertion Type
… on muscle capacity (endurance, fatigue, and recovery) during intermittent static work. Additional mental processing was associated with shorter endurance times, greater strength decline, increased fatigability, and slower cardiovascular recovery. Concurrent demand conditions were also …

Psychological, cardiovascular and haematological aspects of the type A behaviour pattern in relation to coronary heart disease
… than Type B's. not only by their enhanced cardiovascular reactivity (heart rate and systolic blood pressure), but also by their superior word recall performance. Dyadic interactive situations, in which combinations of Type A's and Type B's work together on a task, and only one member of the …

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 …

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 …
