Classic and modern emotion theories suggest that the perception of bodily sensations, or interoception, is foundational to emotion processing. The present research examined whether interoception is enhanced among people high in ruminative tendencies, especially under stress. To test this notion, the present research examined the effects of a mild stressor on subjective and objective measures of interoception among people varying in ruminative tendencies. Under conditions of mild stress, rumination was positively associated with self-reported private body consciousness -a marker of interoceptive sensibility- in Study 1 ( = 312) and with heartbeat detection accuracy (especially in the presence of auditory interference) in Study 2 ( = 180). In both studies, rumination was not significantly associated with interoceptive sensibility or accuracy in the absence of stress. These findings suggest that stress-induced amplification of bodily sensations may be important in explaining emotional dysregulation among chronic ruminators.
经典和现代的情绪理论表明，对身体感觉的感知，即内感受，是情绪处理的基础。本研究检验了内感受是否在沉思倾向较高的人群中得到增强，尤其是在压力下。为了检验这一观点，本研究检验了轻度压力源对不同沉思倾向人群的内感受的主观和客观测量的影响。在轻度压力条件下，在研究 1（n=312）中，沉思与自我报告的私人身体意识呈正相关——内感受敏感性的标志——并且在研究 2（n=180）中与心跳检测准确性呈正相关（尤其是在存在听觉干扰的情况下）。在这两项研究中，在没有压力的情况下，沉思与内感受敏感性或准确性没有显著关联。这些发现表明，压力引起的身体感觉放大可能是解释慢性沉思者情绪失调的重要因素。
