Abstract
Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) is a well-established measure of autonomic nervous system flexibility and child ER. However, few studies have examined how RSA relates to child ER behaviors during emotional tasks. Findings suggest that RSA can serve as a useful predictor of child empathy and ER behaviors in emotional situations.
