Recent psychosocial theories implicate disturbances in reward pursuit among individuals putatively at risk for mania. The present study examined associations of a measure of risk for mania (the Hypomanic Personality Scale; HPS) with both four trait positive emotions (joy, pride, compassion, and love) and ambitious life goals in five domains (fame, wealth, political influence, family, and friends) among 302 participants from two university settings. Findings indicated that higher HPS scores were related to reward (joy) and achievement-focused (pride) positive emotions, with weaker relations to prosocial (compassion, love) positive emotions. HPS scores were more robustly related to extrinsic (fame, politics) as compared to other-oriented (friends, family) ambitious life goals, with the exception of wealth. These effects were independent of current symptoms of mania and depression. Discussion focuses on the implications of elevated reward and achievement-related positive emotions and goals in understanding risk factors for mania.
近期的社会心理理论表明，在假定有躁狂风险的个体中，奖励追求存在障碍。本研究在来自两所大学的302名参与者中，考察了躁狂风险测量指标（轻躁狂人格量表；HPS）与四种特质积极情绪（喜悦、自豪、同情和爱）以及五个领域（名声、财富、政治影响力、家庭和朋友）中的雄心勃勃的生活目标之间的关联。研究结果表明，较高的HPS分数与奖励（喜悦）和以成就为导向（自豪）的积极情绪相关，而与亲社会（同情、爱）的积极情绪的关系较弱。与其他导向（朋友、家庭）的雄心勃勃的生活目标相比，HPS分数与外在（名声、政治）目标的相关性更强，但财富除外。这些影响独立于当前的躁狂和抑郁症状。讨论集中在奖励和与成就相关的积极情绪及目标升高在理解躁狂风险因素方面的意义。
