Low Heart Rate and Crime: Exploring the Link From an Analytical Perspective
Although low resting heart rate is often cited as “the best-replicated biological correlate” of antisocial behaviour, this association remains unexplained. Several theoretical explanations have been proposed throughout the years, but they have been mostly based on unfounded and questionable …

The effects of female gender role appraisal and body image threat on the stress responses of women: a validation of the feminine gender role stress scale
… likely to evidence behavioral and physiological reactivity to a "feminine" (body image) stressor than a neutral control condition. The FGRS scale was developed to measure the cognitive tendency among women to appraise specific situations as stressful due to commitments, beliefs, and values that …

The Dynamic Cerebral Laterality Effect: Group Differences in Hostility, Cardiovascular Regulation, and Sensory Recognition
… blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate) reactivity among high hostile participants was attempted. Second, dynamic variations in functional cerebral asymmetry in response to pain (cold pressor) and emotional linguistic processing was measured. Low- and high-hostile participants …

African-American Males' Perception of Law Enforcement: A Psychophysiological Perspective
<p>This study compared the psychophysiological reactivity of African American and European American males to authority. Nineteen African American males and 23 European American males were randomly assigned to either be interrogated by a police officer, or see a police officer interrogate that …

Driver Response to Simulated Intersections: An Analysis of Workload-Related Variables
… 18 to 74 years. All participants viewed 14 separate intersections, which varied according to types of traffic control signs and signals. Individual workload was assessed in three categories of response: performance, subjective, and physiological. A MANOVA was performed on six dependent variables …

Another piece for the puzzle: Psychophysiological indicators of the absence of empathic responding in Factor I psychopathy
… finally, whether psychophysiological measures (heart rate and skin conductance) would prove to be useful assessment tools for this task. Fifty boys, aged five years, from 22 different schools, participated in this study. They were pre-selected by their teachers to fit either into a group of …
