Abstract
Children with internalizing disorders have different resting physiology than their healthy counterparts, such as lower heart rate variability (HRV), which may help researchers understand biological mechanisms underlying their symptoms. Novelty and mood induction tasks are known to impact child HRV, thus it is unknown when during a laboratory visit is the optimal time to measure resting HRV. In a study of 9 male children, aged 6-8, we compare multiple relaxation periods to determine the optimal period for extracting true resting HRV. We then investigate whether this resting HRV measurement is associated with parent-reported child internalizing symptoms using Child Behavior Checklist.
