The psychological and the hormonal response to a specific emotional stressor (a video film on treatment of infertility, pregnancy, and delivery) was investigated in 30 women and the responses were correlated with their trait anxiety level. The experiment included a resting period before and after the stressor. The psychological response, i.e., the change in state anxiety, was in phase with the stressor and varied with the trait anxiety level. The endocrinological response, i.e., the time courses of prolactin, cortisol, and testosterone, was not in phase but varied with the trait anxiety level. It is suggested that psychological phenomena as anticipation, mental assimilation, and reflection could explain these findings, and that these should be taken into account when investigating the so-called "psychological" infertility.
对30名女性针对特定情绪应激源（一部关于不孕症治疗、怀孕和分娩的视频影片）的心理和激素反应进行了研究，并将这些反应与其特质焦虑水平相关联。实验包括应激源前后的休息期。心理反应，即状态焦虑的变化，与应激源同步，并随特质焦虑水平而变化。内分泌反应，即催乳素、皮质醇和睾酮的时间进程，虽不同步，但也随特质焦虑水平而变化。研究表明，诸如预期、心理同化和反思等心理现象可以解释这些发现，并且在研究所谓的“心理性”不孕症时应考虑到这些因素。
