Although autogenic training and progressive relaxation are widely used relaxation techniques, little research has been conducted on their comparative effects. Twenty-two normal subjects received five sessions of instruction in either progressive relaxation or autogenic training over a 5-week period. Both types of training, when compared to the control group, significantly decreased SCL-90 scores on four scales: anxiety, depression, number of symptoms, and intensity of symptoms. Also, autogenic training appeared to produce specific effects on self-perception of heaviness and warmth in the limbs and depth of breathing. However, there were no significant differences between groups in pretest versus posttest changes in heart rate or skin conductance. These results are consistent with the results of other recent research on nonanxious individuals in this laboratory.
尽管自生训练和渐进性放松是广泛使用的放松技巧，但关于它们的比较效果的研究却很少。22名正常受试者在5周的时间内接受了5次渐进性放松或自生训练的指导。与对照组相比，这两种训练在四个量表上均显著降低了SCL-90得分：焦虑、抑郁、症状数量和症状强度。此外，自生训练似乎对四肢的沉重感和温暖感的自我感知以及呼吸深度产生了特定影响。然而，在心率或皮肤电导率的测试前与测试后变化方面，两组之间没有显著差异。这些结果与该实验室最近对非焦虑个体的其他研究结果一致。
