The article by Deutz et al. investigates associations between heart rate (HR) measures with child externalizing and internalizing psychopathology. HR relates to emotional arousal and reflects both sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system activity. When measured at rest, HR relates to autonomic activity during a relaxing condition. HR reactivity (HR) is expressed as a change from resting or baseline that results after exposure to experimental stimuli. These stress-regulating mechanisms prepare the body for fight or flight responses, and as such can explain individual differences that might predispose to child psychopathology.
德茨等人的文章研究了心率（HR）测量与儿童外在和内在精神病理学之间的关联。心率与情绪唤醒有关，反映了交感和副交感神经系统的活动。当在休息时测量时，心率与放松状态下的自主活动有关。心率反应性（HR）表示在暴露于实验刺激后，从休息或基线状态产生的变化。这些调节应激的机制为身体准备应对战斗或逃跑反应，因此可以解释可能导致儿童精神病理学的个体差异。
