Abstract
Research has not yet examined the role of incarceration on positive psychological factors such as empathy. Findings suggested that longer incarceration for juvenile, but not adult, detainees with higher and lower resting heart rate variability – a biomarker of self-regulation – was linked with higher and lower empathy, respectively.
