Results

Experiential process scores correlated positively with heartbeat perception, showing higher interoception links to deeper experiences. Multiple regression indicated heartbeat perception predicted experiential process scores after controlling for age and TAS-20. In negative emotion contexts, TAS-20 weakly negatively correlated with experiential process scores.
