Resting respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA(REST)) indexes important aspects of individual differences in emotionality. In the present investigation, the authors address whether RSA EST is associated with tonic positive or negative emotionality, and whether RSAREST relates to phasic emotional responding to discrete positive emotion-eliciting stimuli. Across an 8-month, multiassessment study of first-year University students (n = 80), individual differences in RSA(REST) were associated with positive but not negative tonic emotionality, assessed at the level of personality traits, long-term moods. the disposition toward optimism, and baseline reports of current emotional states. RSA(REST) was not related to increased positive emotion, or stimulus-specific emotion, in response to compassion-. awe-. or pride-inducing stimuli. These findings suggest that resting RSA indexes aspects of a person's tonic positive emotionality.
