Psychophysiological Reactivity of Asthmatic Children

WILLIAM W. HAHN PH.D.1 and JEAN ANN CLARK B.A.1

1 Children's Asthma Research Institute and Hospital, Denver, Colo.

Eighteen asthmatic and 21 nonasthmatic children 10-16 years of age were tested for psychological responses to criticism and psychophysiological reactivity to tone, shock, and problem-solving tasks. The asthmatic children reacted with more negative affect to criticism by self-report measures. Psychophysiological responses provided indications of abnormal heart rate and respiration responses in the asthmatic group that are apparently related to the physiological changes associated with the asthmatic syndrome and may be related to the physiological changes that accompany the asthma attack itself.
