The objective of this study was to assess the relation between the intensity of single moods and of mood combinations on blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR). The subjects were 203 healthy registered nurses, all women, who were studied on two work and two off days. Ambulatory BP and HR were recorded every 20 min. On each occasion subjects rated their moods on a 5-point scale. Graded increases in BP and HR were shown with higher ratings of negative moods and decreases for a mood related to energy level. Little change was observed for a positive mood. These effects depended on concurrent changes in other moods. A positive mood countered the effects of a negative mood, whereas two negative moods resulted in unique patterns of BP and HR. The energy level mood moderated the cardiovascular effects of positive and negative moods. Ambulatory methods provide a way of probing into the nature and consequences of everyday emotional experiences.
本研究的目的是评估单一情绪及情绪组合的强度与血压(BP)和心率(HR)之间的关系。研究对象为203名健康的注册护士,均为女性,在两个工作日和两个休息日接受研究。每20分钟记录一次动态血压和心率。每次受试者用5分制对自己的情绪进行评分。随着负面情绪评分的升高,血压和心率呈分级升高,而与能量水平相关的情绪评分升高时血压和心率则降低。积极情绪时观察到的变化很小。这些影响取决于其他情绪的同时变化。积极情绪可抵消消极情绪的影响,而两种消极情绪则导致血压和心率出现独特的变化模式。能量水平情绪调节了积极和消极情绪对心血管系统的影响。动态监测方法为探究日常情绪体验的本质和后果提供了一种途径。
