Components of heart rate variability have attracted considerable attention in psychology and medicine and have become important dependent measures in psychophysiology and behavioral medicine. Quantification and interpretation of heart rate variability, however, remain complex issues and are fraught with pitfalls. The present report (a) examines the physiological origins and mechanisms of heart rate variability, (b) considers quantitative approaches to measurement, and (c) highlights important caveats in the interpretation of heart rate variability. Summary guidelines for research in this area are outlined, and suggestions and prospects for future developments are considered.
心率变异性的组成部分在心理学和医学领域引起了相当大的关注,并已成为心理生理学和行为医学中重要的因变量指标。然而,心率变异性的量化和解释仍然是复杂的问题,且充满了陷阱。本报告:(a)研究心率变异性的生理起源和机制;(b)探讨测量的定量方法;(c)强调心率变异性解释中的重要注意事项。概述了该领域研究的总结性指南,并考虑了未来发展的建议和前景。
