This study aimed to investigate psychophysiological responses while reading multiple webpages on a debated topic. We measured heart rate (HR) as an index of emotional arousal and heart rate variability (HRV) as an index of emotional regulation. Forty-seven students in grade 7 read four webpages varying for reliability and position on the topic, while their cardiac activity was registered. Results showed that HR was a negative predictor and HRV a positive predictor of multiple-text comprehension.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate psychophysiological responses while reading multiple webpages on a debated topic. We measured heart rate (HR) as an index of emotional arousal and heart rate variability (HRV) as an index of emotional regulation. Forty-seven students in grade 7 read four webpages varying for reliability and position on the topic, while their cardiac activity was registered. Results showed that HR was a negative predictor and HRV a positive predictor of multiple-text comprehension.
