Sažetak
High frequency heart rate variability (HF HRV) as the indicator of parasympathetic activation / vagal tone (VT) has been measured in 50 participants (31 women and 19 men) during the presentation of two pairs of movie clips of positive and negative emotional valence. HF HRV (0.15-0.4 Hz) during each movie clip has been extracted and data for positive and negative clips were aggregated. Big five personality dimensions have been measured with NEO-PI-R questionnaire. HF-HRV has been significantly lower during movie clips aimed to induce negative emotion compared to movie clips aimed to induce positive emotions. Results have shown positive correlation between extraversion and VT during the presentation of both movie clips. Furthermore agreeableness significantly interacted with the emotional valence of movie clips. More agreeable individuals reacted with significantly higher vagal activation during negative compared to positive movie clip. In addition, data were analyzed on the level of NEO-PI-R facets, and specific traits that lie in the basis of observed relations between personality and parasympathetic responses have been indicated. The results are explained in the context of the Polyvagal Theory and the model of neurovisceral integration.
