Autonomic nervous system response patterns in freshmen with different resilience in a military university
Objective To investigate the autonomic nervous system response pattern in military college students with different levels of resilience. Methods Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA) was applied to test 144 college students
and based on the RSA score 54 freshmen who accepted to join the test were selected and were divided into a high resilience group and a low resilience group. Each 27 freshmen of the two groups were tested for autonomic nervous system response pattern. Results ① At resting state
students of the high resilience group and low resilience group did not show significant differences in heart rate (HR)
skin conductance (SC)
skin temperature (ST) and blood volume pulse (BVP) (P0.05). ② Compared with those indices obtained at resting state
students of the high resilience group scored lower in HR
SC and ST under sad mood induction
but higher in BVP; students of the low resilience group scored higher in HR and SC under sad mood induction
but lower in ST and BVP. Sad mood induction showed that SC of the high resilience group was significantly lower than that of the low resilience group (t=-2.077,P=0.043). ③ After sad mood induction
no significant difference was found in recovery time of HR
SC
ST and BVP between the high and low resilience groups. Conclusion Students with different level of resilience may vary in activity of autonomic nervous system.
