Abstract
GMH Poster Competition
In a sample of children (N=93, Mage=5.54, SD=.68), attention bias to angry faces was positively associated with physiological reactivity (high frequency heart rate variability) while observing a parent's emotions. The correlation of these emotion reactivity measures elucidates a picture of early emotion-related risk as crossing functional domains.
