Abstract
The tendency to ruminate (i.e., repetitive, self- referential, negative thoughts) is a maladaptive form of emotional regulation and represents a transdiagnostic vul-nerability factor for stress- related psychopathology. Vagally- mediated heart rate variability (vmHRV) provides a non- invasive, surrogate measure of vagal modu-lation of the heart, and higher HRV is considered an indicator of susceptibility, or ability to respond to stress. Past research has suggested a link between trait ru-mination and vmHRV; however, inconsistent results exist in healthy individuals. In this study, we investigated the association between the tendency to ruminate, brooding, and reflection (using the Ruminative Response Scale) with vmHRV measured at baseline in a healthy population using a large cross- sectional dataset (N= 1189, 88% female; mean age = 21.55, ranging from 17 to 48 years old), which was obtained by combining samples of healthy individuals from different studies from our laboratory. The results showed no cross- sectional correlation between vmHRV and trait rumination (confirmed by Bayesian analysis), even after con-trolling for important confounders such as gender, age, and depressive symptoms. Also, a non- linear relationship was rejected. In summary, based on our results in a large sample of healthy individuals, vmHRV is not a marker of trait rumination (as measured by the Ruminative Response Scale).
