Anxiety sensitivity and heart rate variability study

This data was collected for Dr. Bethany Gourley's dissertation to examine the relationship between anxiety sensitivity and heart rate variability. Participants were assessed for anxiety sensitivity via ASI-3 during online screening and the in-person appointment. Their heart rate was measured at baseline and during three counterbalanced behavioral stress paradigms: physical (hyperventilation), cognitive (PASAT), and social (Trier Social Stress Task).

Attached is an Excel with the cleaned participant-level data used by the dissertation, with outputs from the Kubios HRV software. Two R Markdown files (code used for the manuscript, in Word doc form) are also attached, one detailing the power/sensitivity analysis and the other detailing the full code used for the Tu et al. (2023) paper.
