AB  - Previous research has revealed a consistent association between heart rate at 
      rest and during stress and behavioral problems, potentially implicating autonomic 
      nervous system (ANS) functioning in the etiological development of antisocial 
      behavior. A complementary line of research has focused on the potential 
      independent and interactive role of the two subsystems that comprise the ANS, the 
      parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) and the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), on 
      behavioral problems. The current study aims to contribute to the existing 
      literature by examining the influence of heart rate (HR) reactivity, 
      high-frequency heart rate variability (HF-HRV) reactivity, and catecholamine 
      activity on a comprehensive measure of anger in a large, 
      nationally-representative sample of adults from the United States. Results from a 
      series of structural equation models (SEMs) revealed that catecholamine activity 
      was most consistently linked to anger, while associations involving HR and HF-HRV 
      reactivity were nonsignificant. Additional analyses revealed that HF-HRV did not 
      significantly moderate the association between catecholamine activity and anger. 
      These findings highlight the importance of SNS activity in the development of 
      more reactive forms of aggression such as anger.
