The effects of maternal respiratory sinus arrhythmia and behavioral engagement on mother‐child physiological coregulation

Parent‐child coregulation is thought to be an important precursor for children's developing self‐regulation, but we know little about how individual parent factors shape parent‐child physiological coregulation. We examined whether maternal baseline respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), teaching, and disengagement were associated with stronger or weaker coregulation of RSA between mothers and their 3‐year‐old children ( N = 47), modeled across 18...
