The hypothesis was tested that the relationship found in prior research between heart rate changes produced in biofeedback settings and locus of control scores derives from the heart-brain relationship described by the Laceys in 1967, as well as from "expectancies for control." 48 subjects were tested on two perceptual tasks known to elicit changes in heart rate. Significant heart rate changes were observed in response to both tasks, but those changes did not correlate with locus of control as measured by scores on the Rotter I-E Scale and the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale. Explanations for these results are offered.
有人提出一个假设并进行了检验，即先前研究中发现的生物反馈环境下产生的心率变化与控制点得分之间的关系，源于莱西夫妇在1967年所描述的心脏与大脑的关系，以及“控制期望”。对48名受试者进行了两项已知能引起心率变化的感知任务测试。两项任务都观察到了显著的心率变化，但这些变化与罗特内外控量表和多维健康控制点量表得分所衡量的控制点无关。文中还对这些结果给出了解释。
