Abstract

Homeostatic balance provides a conceptual foundation for personality, and balance is a key concept in psychotherapy and psychophysiology. For example, both extreme fear and the absence of fear are considered pathological in both psychotherapy and psychophysiology, whereas a moderate, balanced fear response predicts healthier outcomes. In terms of measurement, however, personality is typically measured using a unipolar approach with more extreme scores (typically higher) indicative of better functioning. The purpose of the present study was to examine whether a moderate, balanced approach to measurement, or individualized allostasis, might better capture healthy functioning. To assess balanced functioning, the Assessment of Schema Adaptability Profile - Revised (ASAP-R) was used, and wellbeing was assessed using the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress scale (DASS) and heart rate variability (HF HRV and RMSSD). The IPIP NEO 120 was used to assess the Big 5 model of personality. Moderate responding on the ASAP-R was related to less self-reported depressive symptoms on the DASS, and increased heart rate variability (HF HRV and RMSSD). Developing personality measures designed to assess moderate responding may be beneficial in the context of psychotherapy/psychophysiology integration.

期刊介绍: Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback is an international, interdisciplinary journal devoted to study of the interrelationship of physiological systems, cognition, social and environmental parameters, and health. Priority is given to original research, basic and applied, which contributes to the theory, practice, and evaluation of applied psychophysiology and biofeedback. Submissions are also welcomed for consideration in several additional sections that appear in the journal. They consist of conceptual and theoretical articles; evaluative reviews; the Clinical Forum, which includes separate categories for innovative case studies, clinical replication series, extended treatment protocols, and clinical notes and observations; the Discussion Forum, which includes a series of papers centered around a topic of importance to the field; Innovations in Instrumentation; Letters to the Editor, commenting on issues raised in articles previously published in the journal; and select book reviews. Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback is the official publication of the Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback.
