Children's dynamic RSA change during anger and its relations with parenting, temperament, and control of aggression

► Dynamic respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) change during anger-induction predicted children's self-control of aggression. ► Effective regulation of anger was reflected in stronger initial RSA suppression, followed by RSA augmentation or recovery. ► Interactions between children's anger-prone temperament and parenting predicted parasympathetic regulation of anger.
