Heart rate variability indices as bio-markers of top-down self-regulatory mechanisms: A meta-analytic review
2017, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Top-down self-regulation is often measured across several formats, particularly through performance-based tasks or survey reports (e.g., self-report, parent-report). There is long withstanding debate in the developmental psychology literature considering whether reports or behavioral observations provide the best measurement of temperament characteristics (e.g., Goldsmith and Hewitt, 2003; Kagan, 1998; Rothbart and Bates, 1998; Seifer, 2003) in light of evidence that relations between behavioral observations and survey report measures of temperament characteristics (e.g., effortful control) tend to be modest (e.g., Majdandžić and van den Boom, 2007). Similarly, a review of relations between behavioral measures of executive functioning (i.e., performance-based) and report measures of executive functioning revealed a small median relation (i.e., r = 0.19) across 20 studies, suggesting that behavioral and report measures may capture unique information (Toplak et al., 2013).
Emotional reactivity, regulation and childhood stuttering: A behavioral and electrophysiological study
2011, Journal of Communication DisordersCitation Excerpt :Most such studies have used parent-report measures to assess temperament and emotions (Anderson et al., 2003; Embrechts et al., 1998; Fowlie & Cooper, 1978; Glasner, 1949; Karrass et al., 2006; Lewis & Goldberg, 1997; Williams, 2006). Although well-crafted parent-report measures have many strengths (Goldsmith & Hewitt, 2003), behavioral coding and psychophysiological measures such as electroencephalography (EEG) – which have sufficient temporal resolution to track moment-to-moment changes in cognitive, emotional and speech-language behavior – may aid in further understanding the relations between stuttering and emotions. Although psychophysiological measures have not been used to assess emotion in CWS, behavioral coding has been used.
