Abstract
The current study found a statistically significant negative association of rumination with resting heart rate variability (HRV), a biomarker of health. Results showed that rumination interacted with ethnic background to predict HRV. Specifically, greater rumination was associated with lower HRV for Black and Asian individuals, but not in White individuals.
