The present study looked at the interaction and effects of social isolation on
heart rate variability (HRV). Participants in this study included
undergraduate (N=20) students from St. Johns University and the College
of Saint Benedict. This study included an online survey that measured
neuroticism as well as an online program participants played called
CyberBall. After participants took the neuroticism survey they were
attached to a BioPac machine using electrodes that monitored their heart
rate variability while they played two rounds CyberBall. Heart rate
variability was collected for a total of twenty minutes. We hypothesized that
social isolation would decrease heart …

This study sought to determine if there is a correlation between an individual’s heart rate variability (HRV) and their score on the Empathy Quotient test. This experiment was designed as an ABAB model, where a baseline experiment is run, and then an experimental run follows. A baseline measurement was taken for each participant. Then participants were instructed to either read an emotionally triggering excerpt from Browning’s Reflection on a Massacre first or a neutral excerpt from The Constitution of Liberty by Friedrich Hayek. The participants were then be instructed to stop reading the excerpt to have them return to baseline …
