His exploratory field study examined the impact of an Inner Quality Management program (IQM) on a group of Motorola employees. IQM is a training program designed to help people increase productivity through improved health, communication, goal clarity, positive mood and job satisfaction, and through...

Background Thirty-eight human immunodeficiency virus-seropositive men and women, most with AIDS, enrolled in a psychological intervention, call the HeartMath® program. It is a unique intervention for stress-reduction and mental and emotional self-management that focuses on enhancing positive emo...

Although cardiac sympathovagal regulation has been studied during stress using power spectral density analysis of heart rate variability, little is known about its regulation during emotional states. Using heart rate variability measurements we studied autonomic balance in 20 subjects trained i...

This study examines the effects of music and positive emotional states on autonomic and immune function in normal, healthy individuals. Autonomic activity was assessed using power spectral density analysis of heart rate variability, and salivary IgA was used as a marker of immunity. The effects of R...

Salivary IgA, heart rate and mood were measured in thirty individuals before and after experiencing care or anger. Two methods of inducing the emotional states were compared: self-induction and external induction via video tapes. Anger produced a significant increase in total mood disturbance and he...

Introduction This study utilizes HRV analysis to examine a new method of intentionally shifting emotional states, and demonstrates that positive emotions lead to alterations in sympathovagal balance that may be beneficial in the treatment of hypertension. Anger, on the other hand, was shown to signi...
