In this study of 18 female depressed patients and 18 age- and sex-matched control subjects, the authors examined the relationship between nonverbal behavior and treatment outcome with amitriptyline. A behavioral analysis indicated that amitriptyline responders could be differentiated from nonresponders before drug treatment on the basis of discrete nonverbal behaviors. Nonresponders showed a high frequency of body-focused self-adaptors, posture shifts, and pauses and a low frequency of smiles, while responders displayed long speech pauses and long durations of head aversion.
在这项针对18名女性抑郁症患者以及18名年龄和性别匹配的对照受试者的研究中，作者研究了非言语行为与阿米替林治疗效果之间的关系。行为分析表明，在药物治疗前，基于离散的非言语行为，可以区分出阿米替林治疗的应答者和无应答者。无应答者表现出高频率的身体专注自我调整动作、姿势变换和停顿，以及低频率的微笑，而应答者则表现出较长的言语停顿和较长时间的头部回避。
