The changes in surface temperatures of the hands, and the permeation of warmth in the hands during self-regulation method (SRM), a new method of self-control, were studied in 5 trained subjects and in 5 beginners. Temperature changes were measured by thermography. Results indicated that both beginners and trained subjects showed similar significant increases in maximum hand temperatures during SRM, however, trained subjects showed significant increases during the control period as well. Further, both groups showed significant increases in the area of warmth permeation during SRM, however, trained subjects also showed a significant increase during the control period. There was a statistical difference between the two groups for the area of warmth permeation at both the end of the control period and the end of SRM. Thus, in SRM, although beginners seem to be able to raise their hand temperatures in a similar degree to trained subjects, the area of warmth permeation is significantly greater in trained subjects than in beginners. These results indicate that SRM is relatively easy to master for beginners. From these results, the technique of SRM, psychophysiological aspects of SRM and methods of self-control in general, and some issues regarding their clinical applications are discussed.
在5名训练有素的受试者和5名初学者中，研究了一种新的自我控制方法——自我调节法（SRM）过程中手部表面温度的变化以及手部温暖感的渗透情况。通过热成像测量温度变化。结果表明，初学者和训练有素的受试者在SRM过程中手部最高温度均有相似的显著升高，然而，训练有素的受试者在对照期也有显著升高。此外，两组在SRM过程中温暖感渗透区域均有显著增加，但是，训练有素的受试者在对照期也有显著增加。在对照期结束时和SRM结束时，两组在温暖感渗透区域存在统计学差异。因此，在SRM中，虽然初学者似乎能够将手部温度提升到与训练有素的受试者相似的程度，但训练有素的受试者的温暖感渗透区域明显大于初学者。这些结果表明，SRM对初学者来说相对容易掌握。基于这些结果，讨论了SRM技术、SRM的心理生理学方面以及一般的自我控制方法，以及它们在临床应用中的一些问题。
