Hostility, particularly aggressive responding, impairs cognitive performance under stress. This suggests a potential mechanism linking hostility to coronary artery disease through autonomic nervous system dysfunction.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Cardiology
  • Psychophysiology

Background:

  • Hostility correlates with coronary artery disease, but mechanisms remain unclear.
  • Hostility is linked to increased cardiovascular reactivity during mental stress.
  • Previous research suggests hostility diminishes cardiac vagal control.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if hostility affects performance on a mental stress task.
  • To examine the impact of practice on task performance across different hostility levels.

Main Methods:

  • Participants completed the Cook-Medley Hostility Scale, categorized into High, Middle, and Low groups.
  • Individuals also completed the Stroop Color-Word Task to assess performance under stress.
  • Analysis focused on the effect of practice on task performance based on hostility scores.

Main Results:

  • Practice on the Stroop task had a significantly smaller effect on individuals with High and Middle scores for Aggressive Responding compared to the Low scoring group.
  • This indicates that higher levels of aggressive responding may impede learning and adaptation to mental stress.

Conclusions:

  • Hostility, specifically aggressive responding, appears to negatively impact cognitive performance during mental stress tasks.
  • Findings suggest impaired autonomic nervous system regulation in highly hostile individuals, potentially contributing to coronary artery disease development.
