Grieving is infused by memories and emotions. In this study, bereaved participants recalled either death-related or fond memories of their loved ones. Their emotional arousal was examined via physiologic and voice analytic measures. Both death-related and fond memories generated an acoustic profile indicative of sadness (reflected by voice quality related parameters). Death-related memories, moreover, lead to bodily tension reflected by increased diastolic blood pressure levels and mean fundamental frequency of the voice signal. Consistent with the continuing bond and attachment perspectives, "death," a reminder of the irrevocability of the loss, induced distress/anxiety. In contrast, fond memories lead to more moderate, melancholic sadness, presumably because of their association with the soothing qualities of the attachment figure.
悲伤被记忆和情感所浸润。在这项研究中，失去亲人的参与者回忆起与亲人相关的死亡或美好回忆。通过生理和语音分析测量来检查他们的情绪唤起。死亡相关的记忆和美好回忆都产生了悲伤的声学特征（反映在与声音质量相关的参数上）。此外，死亡相关的记忆会导致身体紧张，表现为舒张压水平升高和语音信号的基频平均值升高。与持续联系和依恋的观点一致，“死亡”提醒人们失去的不可挽回性，会引起痛苦/焦虑。相比之下，美好的回忆会导致更温和、忧郁的悲伤，可能是因为它们与依恋对象的安慰特质有关。
