| summary | The vagal tank theory, building on neurophysiological, cognitive and social psychology approaches, will introduce a physiological indicator for self-regulation that has mainly been ignored from cognitive and social psychology, cardiac vagal control. Cardiac vagal control reflects the contribution of the vagus nerve, the main nerve of the parasympathetic nervous system, to cardiac regulation. Cardiac vagal control is proposed to be an indicator of how efficiently self-regulatory resources are mobilized and used. Three systematic levels of cardiac vagal control functioning are suggested, the 3 Rs: Resting,
Reactivity, and Recovery. Based on this physiological indicator is derived the metaphor of the vagal tank, which can get depleted and replenished. Overall, the vagal tank theory will enable to integrate previous findings from different disciplines and to stimulate new research questions, predictions, and designs regarding self-regulation. |
