In the last two decades, a growing body of theory and research has targeted the role of
cardiac vagal control (CVC) in emotional responding. This research has either focused on …

The neurovisceral integration model posits that cardiac vagal tone, indexed by heart rate
variability (HRV), can indicate the functional integrity of the neural networks implicated in …

It remains unclear if diminished high frequency heart rate variability (HF-HRV) can be found
across anxiety disorders. HF-HRV and heart rate (HR) were examined in panic (PD) …

During recent decades numerous yoga-based practices (YBP) have emerged in the West,
with their aims ranging from fitness gains to therapeutic benefits and spiritual development …

Heart rate variability (HRV) has been suggested as a biological correlate of self-control.
Whereas many studies found a relationship between HRV at rest and self-control, effect …

In the present article, we introduce the quadratic vagal activity–prosociality hypothesis, a
theoretical framework for understanding the vagus nerve's involvement in prosociality. We …

Abstract Theory and research on self‐regulation, emotional adjustment, and interpersonal
