Abstract

The authors evaluated the significance of individual properties (extroversion and individual anxiety) in the analysis of cardiorhythmograms. The subjects demonstrated significant correlations between the spectral characteristics of cardiac rhythm and extroversion and individual anxiety levels. The correlation between the spectral characteristics of the cardiac rhythm and extroversion significantly strengthened when the individual anxiety level was taken into account and vice versa. Cardiorhythmograms differed significantly in extroverts and introverts with increased and normal levels of individual anxiety.
