Autonomic balance shifts were studied from the parameters of cardiac rhythm variability in subjects of both sexes with a varying conflict potential under the influence of a conflict-inducing factor. There was autonomic balance displacement towards a reduced sympathotonus in conflict subjects irrespective of gender and in non-conflict girls during simulation of a conflict-inducing medium, which suggests their favorable response to presented loads. The sympathetic part of the autonomic nervous system was found to play an increased role in the regulation of cardiac performance in examined non-conflict boys during simulation of a conflict-inducing medium, suggesting the development of psychogenic emotional tension by the negative psychosomatic type.
