Fast reducers, slow augmenters: a psychophysiological analysis of temperament-related differences in reaction timeAndreas Schwerdtfeger
Department of Physiological Psychology, University of Wuppertal, Max Horkheimer Str 20, D 44119 Wuppertal, Germany
Int J Psychophysiol 52:225-37. 2004..These results are consistent with the proposition that reducers have a higher need for stimulation than augmenters. Probably, they utilize locomotor activity in order to compensate for their attenuated arousal...- Interactive effects of avoidant coping and parental hypertension on rate pressure product reactivity in womenAndreas Schwerdtfeger
Department of Psychology, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany
Ann Behav Med 29:106-15. 2005..Previous research suggests that personality, situational context variables, and genes might interact to potentiate cardiovascular stress responses... - Trait anxiety and autonomic indicators of the processing of threatening information: a cued S1-S2 paradigmAndreas Schwerdtfeger
Department of Psychology, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Staudinger Weg 9, 55099 Mainz, Germany
Biol Psychol 72:59-66. 2006..Autonomic responses can, thus, be regarded as sensitive markers of information processing differences in trait anxiety... - Verbal-autonomic response dissociations as traits?Andreas Schwerdtfeger
Department of Psychology, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Staudinger Weg 9, 55099 Mainz, Germany
Biol Psychol 72:213-21. 2006..61, P<.001 for HR-derived and r=.40, P<.05 for SCL-derived scores). In sum, verbal-autonomic response dissociations show considerable cross-situational and temporal stability and thus might be considered as traits... - Spontaneous emotion regulation during evaluated speaking tasks: associations with negative affect, anxiety expression, memory, and physiological respondingBoris Egloff
Department of Psychology, University of Leipzig, Leipzig, Germany
Emotion 6:356-66. 2006..Taken together, spontaneous emotion regulation in active coping tasks has similar consequences as experimentally induced emotion regulation in passive tasks... 
The time line of threat processing and vagal withdrawal in response to a self-threatening stressor in cognitive avoidant copers: evidence for vigilance-avoidance theoryAndreas Schwerdtfeger
Department of Psychology, Johannes Gutenberg University, D 55099 Mainz, Germany
Psychophysiology 47:786-95. 2010..Together, these data suggest that CAV is related to early engagement followed by disengagement from threat-related cues that might impact physiological stress responses...- Depressive symptoms and attenuated physiological reactivity to laboratory stressorsAndreas Schwerdtfeger
Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany
Biol Psychol 87:430-8. 2011..However, no effects were found during a cold pressor task. Together these findings suggest that depressive symptoms are related to attenuated sympathetic nervous system reactivity in response to self-relevant stressors... - Comparing indirect methods of digit ratio (2D:4D) measurementChristoph J Kemper
Department of Psychology, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Mainz, Germany
Am J Hum Biol 21:188-91. 2009..Software offers several promising opportunities that may contribute to an accurate identification of the proximal finger crease (e.g., zooming, adjusting contrast, etc.)... - Temporal stability of the implicit association test-anxietyBoris Egloff
Department of Psychology, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany
J Pers Assess 84:82-8. 2005..62. In Study 3 (N = 36), we examined the long-term stability (time lag: 1 year) of the IAT-Anxiety and this showed a correlation of .47. We discuss implications of these results for the assessment of personality dispositions with the IAT... - Momentary affect predicts bodily movement in daily life: an ambulatory monitoring studyAndreas Schwerdtfeger
Department of Psychology, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Mainz, Germany
J Sport Exerc Psychol 32:674-93. 2010..EMA-NA was also positively associated with increases in certain kinds of bodily movement. In light of previous research, this finding suggests that affect and bodily movement may have circular effects on each other... - Digit ratio (2D:4D) is associated with traffic violations for male frequent car driversAndreas Schwerdtfeger
Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Mainz, Germany
Accid Anal Prev 42:269-74. 2010..The results suggest that prenatal androgen exposure might be related to traffic violations for frequent car drivers... - Social interaction moderates the relationship between depressive mood and heart rate variability: evidence from an ambulatory monitoring studyAndreas Schwerdtfeger
Department of Psychology, Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany
Health Psychol 28:501-9. 2009..However, little is known about social factors (e.g., social affiliation) that might moderate this relationship... - Self-efficacy as a health-protective resource in teachers? A biopsychological approachAndreas Schwerdtfeger

Department of Psychology, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Staudinger Weg 9, D 55099 Mainz
Int J Psychophysiol 52:217-24. 2004..Electrodermal activity was significantly related to other-rated nervousness/unstableness. Researchers are encouraged to record additionally objective variables when focusing on the prediction of psychophysiological reactivity...
