年轻男性在接受迷走神经张力的生理评估后，受到愤怒和焦虑的实验室诱导，迷走神经张力是副交感神经系统功能的指标，在先前的研究中与情绪调节有关。我们测试了：（i）年轻男性的情绪反应和恢复与他们的整体依恋风格或他们的安全感在特定的，当前的依恋关系;（ii）这种协会是由迷走神经紧张介导的;（iii）这种影响是由浪漫的依恋人物的物理存在缓和。正如预测的那样，迷走神经张力与依恋焦虑呈负相关，与当前依恋关系中的安全感呈正相关。在当前关系中具有高安全感的男性从实验室引起的愤怒中恢复得更有效，迷走神经张力介导了这种关联。与此相反，浪漫依恋人物的身体存在与情绪反应或恢复无关，也没有缓和上述影响。
Young men were subjected to laboratory inductions of anger and anxiety after undergoing a physiological assessment of vagal tone, an index of parasympathetic nervous system functioning that has been associated with emotion regulation in prior research. We tested whether: (i) young men's emotional reactivity and recovery were associated with their global attachment style or their perceptions of security in specific, current attachment relationships; (ii) such associations were mediated by vagal tone; and (iii) such effects were moderated by the physical presence of romantic attachment figures. As predicted, vagal tone was negatively associated with attachment anxiety and positively associated with perceptions of security in current attachment relationships. Men with high perceptions of security in current relationships showed more effective recovery from laboratory-induced anger, and vagal tone mediated this association. In contrast, the physical presence of romantic attachment figures showed no association with emotional reactivity or recovery and did not moderate the aforementioned effects.
