Abstract

The close relationship of temperament with basic biological processes, peculiarities of the physiology of nervous system, the state of physical health of man is the reason for seeking a deeper connection between bodily and mental functions. This indicates the importance of studies of physiological bases of psychosomatic relations, and hence the mechanisms that explain the features of adaptive responses of healthy people’ organisms, especially of junior schoolchildren with different temperament trait index. On this basis, we have carried out an integrative health assessment with measurement of the indices of santiveness and pativeness, studied heart rate variability (HRV) and respiratory function of junior schoolchildren with temperament trait typological differences. It was found out that children in midchildhood with varying index of temperament behaviors have different nature of dominance of autonomic nervous regulatory influences and the standard of individual health. Junior pupils, whose temperament is characterized by a low intensity of behavioral symptoms, have a greater potential of health with predominant parasympathetic influence in the regulation of heart rate, which is accompanied by a higher functional reserve of cardio-respiratory system compared with those children whose temperament is characterized by high behavioral activity. The results of the study demonstrate the relationship of personality temperament traits with the standard and reserve of health, identify the mechanisms underlying psychosomatic relations in midchildhood
