The neurovisceral integration model highlights the intricate process of self regulation and dysregulation, which can be understood through a functional and structural network. Self-regulation involves not only emotion regulation but also attention regulation. Difficulty in self-regulating cognitions and behaviors leads to rumination and worry, which are often seen in various psychological disorders. Vagal tone is an indicator of autonomic nervous system regulation, which has been found to be related to attention and emotion regulation. A high vagal tone reflects parasympathetic nervous system activity and is linked to better attention, emotion regulation, and behavioral flexibility. Prior studies have found that breathing at a slow pace can increase vagal tone, resulting in higher heart rate variability and improved decision-making. Past studies have also shown that executive functioning of the prefrontal cortex and heart rate variability (HRV) are connected and that HRV is an indicator of vagal tone. This study aimed to look at the effects of a slow-paced breathing task on participants’ cognitive function and HRV and assess whether slow-paced breathing was beneficial. A slow-paced breathing technique was used to examine the effects of stress levels when completing the Wisconsin Card Sorting Task (WCST), a measure of cognitive flexibility. Specifically, this study examined the effect of slow-paced breathing on state rumination and stress levels by looking at participants’ individual self-control, rumination and HRV scores. Participants were California State University Channel Islands undergraduate students. Physiological data was collected from 53 participants. Participants were randomly assigned to either a control (nature video) or experimental (slow-paced breathing) condition. We hypothesized that slow-paced breathing would reduce state rumination in those with higher self-control scores and increase HRV in all participants. The results indicated slow paced breathing, self control, and rumination had no influence on HRV during the WCST. The current study found that higher self control was associated with lower scores on the brooding subscale.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
