Abstract: We examined predictors (psychological distress, emotion dysregulation, life satisfaction) of heart-rate variability (HRV) change prompted by a brief gratitude meditation in participants reporting some or no suicidal ideation (SI). Only distress predicted HRV change, and this occurred in those reporting no SI. Investigating predictors of HRV change appears promising.
