身体意识（BA）的特征是对正常的、非情绪性的身体过程和身体感觉的意识和识别的一般趋势。BA考虑的是一个人对他们能够感知、预测和描述他们的身体功能和感觉的敏感性和信念。本研究探讨了BA在血液动力学和焦虑反应的实验室应激源的作用。妇女（n= 40）完成了BA和状态/特质焦虑的评估。低BA的女性比高BA的女性表现出更高的血压（BP）和心率（HR）反应的压力。在低BA的女性中观察到HR恢复后应激延迟。BA是一个显着的预测血液动力学反应超过特质焦虑。没有观察到BA对状态焦虑的影响。因此，更大的BA与女性的血流动力学应激反应性降低相关，这进一步支持了旨在减轻压力的BA干预措施的发展。
Body awareness (BA) is characterised by a general tendency towards awareness and recognition of normal, non-emotive bodily processes and physical sensations. BA considers one's sensitivity towards and belief in how well they can sense, predict, and describe their bodily functions and sensations. This study investigated the role of BA in haemodynamic and anxiety responses to a laboratory stressor. Women (n= 40) completed assessments of BA and state/trait anxiety. Women with low BA displayed higher blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) reactivity in response to the stressor than women with high BA. Delayed HR recovery poststressor was observed in women with low BA. BA was a significant predictor of haemodynamic reactivity over and above trait anxiety. BA effects on state anxiety were not observed. Thus, greater BA is associated with less haemodynamic stress reactivity in women lending further support for the development of BA interventions aimed at stress reduction.
