The strength model of self-regulation failure and health-related behaviour (2009, background): “Studies have demonstrated that people induced to eat unappetising foods show depleted self-regulatory capacity on subsequent self-control tasks (Baumeister et al, 1998 ; DeWall et al, 2007 ; Geeraert & Yzerbyt, 2007 ; Muraven et al, 2006 ; Segerstrom & Nes, 2007 ; Stucke & Baumeister, 2006 ).”
Is There a Downside to Good Self-control? (2009, background): “What about bad effects? A noteworthy feature of the Tangney et al. (2004) investigation was that it contained a determined search for curvilinear effects, which would reveal negative effects of very high self-control.”
Effective regulation of affect: An action control perspective on emotion regulation (2012, methodology): “Christou-Champi et al. also measured the amount of effort expended in regulation by assessing heart rate variability (HRV) and blood glucose levels before and after the regulation task (Gailliot & Baumeister, 2007; Gailliot et al., 2007; Segerstrom & Nes, 2007).”
Strength Model of Self-Regulation as Limited Resource: Assessment, Controversies, Update (2016, background): “Stress, conversely , raises heart rate, lowers heart rate variability, and worsens mood (Segerstrom & Solberg Nes, 2007).”
Tracking Depression Dynamics in College Students Using Mobile Phone and Wearable Sensing (2018, background): “Previous work has found that heart rate variability is associated with depressed mood [35, 38] and fatigue [65].”
After Depletion: The Replenishment of the Self's Regulatory Resources (2008, background): “Specifically, Segerstrom and Nes (2007) measured parasympathetic control over the heart (heart rate variability: HRV) to gauge self-regulatory strength.”
Ego depletion and the strength model of self-control: a meta-analysis. (2010, methodology): “In such cases the individual difference variable served as the depletion condition (e.g., Gailliot, Plant, et al., 2007; Segerstrom & Nes, 2007; Vohs et al., 2005).”
Openness to Experience and stress regulation (2009, background): “In addition to heart rate and blood pressure reactivity, representing potentially unhealthy physiological responses (Treiber et al., 2003), changes in respiratory sinus arrhythmia provided an indicator of parasympathetic activation that might accompany adaptive positive engagement (Porges, 2007) or ”
Directed Attention as a Common Resource for Executive Functioning and Self-Regulation (2010, background): “For example, other physiological measures, such as heart rate variability, have been found to be reliable forecasts of self-regulatory effort and can predict persistence on a cognitive task (an anagram task; Segerstrom & Nes, 2007).”
Individual Differences in Heart Rate Variability Predict the Degree of Slowing during Response Inhibition and Initiation in the Presence of Emotional Stimuli (2011, positive): “A physiological measure that is associated with ER is HRV, which reflects the degree of cardiac activity adjustment to meet situational demands (RuizPadial et al., 2003; Appelhans and Luecken, 2006; Thayer and Sternberg, 2006; Segerstrom and Nes, 2007).”
Intra-individual variability and psychological flexibility: Affect and health in a National US sample (2017, background): “Self-regulatory ability is reflected in resting levels of HRV (Segerstrom & Solberg Nes, 2007), and people with higher HRV showed better congruence between image valence and startle reflex magnitude (an indirect measure of affect) or self-reported affect, suggesting betterregulated emotional…”
