Background

Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) has been understood as a physiological marker of emotional regulatory capacity. To date, little is known about the potential psychophysiological contributions to which influence the family functioning on young adult's internet addiction (IA) symptoms. The aim of this research was to examine the moderating role of resting RSA and its link between family functioning and IA symptoms.

Method

One-hundred and nine participants (69 men) aged between 17 and 21 years old completed questionnaires on family functioning and IA symptoms. Data pertaining to RSA was collected during a resting period in the laboratory.

Results

Resting RSA moderated the association between family functioning and IA symptoms. Specifically, poorer family functioning was related to higher levels of IA symptoms particularly for participants with low resting RSA. When the participants' resting RSA was high, family functioning showed no significant relation with IA symptoms.

Conclusion

Our findings indicated that lower resting RSA may place young adults at greater risk for IA symptoms. This occurs when exposed to poorer family functioning. Furthermore, high resting RSA may serve as a protective factor that alleviates the detrimental influences of poor family functioning on IA symptoms. These findings highlight that contemporaneous consideration is needed for both contextual and physiological factors. This can help to advance persons understanding of internet addictive behaviors in young adults.

静息呼吸性窦性心律失常在家庭功能中的作用-网瘾症状链接

背景

呼吸性窦性心律失常 (RSA) 已被理解为情绪调节能力的生理标志。迄今为止，人们对影响家庭功能对年轻人网络成瘾 (IA) 症状的潜在心理生理学贡献知之甚少。本研究的目的是检查静息 RSA 的调节作用及其家庭功能与 IA 症状之间的联系。

方法

一百零九名年龄在 17 至 21 岁之间的参与者（69 名男性）完成了关于家庭功能和 IA 症状的问卷调查。与 RSA 相关的数据是在实验室休息期间收集的。

结果

静息 RSA 缓和了家庭功能与 IA 症状之间的关联。具体而言，较差的家庭功能与较高水平的 IA 症状有关，特别是对于静息 RSA 低的参与者。当参与者的静息 RSA 较高时，家庭功能与 IA 症状没有显着相关性。

结论

我们的研究结果表明，较低的静息 RSA 可能会使年轻人面临更大的 IA 症状风险。当暴露于较差的家庭功能时会发生这种情况。此外，高静息 RSA 可以作为一种保护因素，减轻家庭功能不佳对 IA 症状的不利影响。这些发现强调，需要同时考虑上下文和生理因素。这有助于提高人们对年轻人网络成瘾行为的理解。
