Self-enhancement and cardiovascular reactivity: Limitations of the hemodynamic profile-compensation deficit (HP-CD) model of blood pressure regulation (2012)
Journal Article
Why, Y. P., & Chen, M. R. (2013). Self-enhancement and cardiovascular reactivity: Limitations of the hemodynamic profile-compensation deficit (HP-CD) model of blood pressure regulation. Biological Psychology, 92(2), 205-211. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biopsycho.2012.08.010

We examined the consistency of results obtained when examining the relationship between selfenhancement and cardiovascular reactivity via analysing raw cardiovascular data and compared this with the hemodynamic profile–compensation deficit (HP–CD) mo...
