The literature on emotions and respiration is reviewed. After the early years of experimental psychology, attention to their relationship has been sparse, presumably due to difficulties in adequate measurement of respiration. The available data suggest nevertheless that respiration patterns reflect the general dimensions of emotional response that are linked to response requirements of the emotional situations. It is suggested that the major dimensions are those of calm-excitement, relaxation-tenseness, and active versus passive coping. Research on the emotion-respiration relationships has been largely restricted to the correlates of respiration rate, amplitude, and volume. Finer distinctions than those indicated may well be possible if a wider range of parameters, such as the form of the respiratory cycle, is included in the investigation.
本文对有关情绪与呼吸的文献进行了综述。在实验心理学发展的早期阶段之后，对二者关系的关注一直较为稀少，大概是由于对呼吸进行充分测量存在困难。然而，现有数据表明，呼吸模式反映了与情绪情境的反应要求相关的情绪反应的一般维度。研究表明，主要维度包括平静-兴奋、放松-紧张以及主动应对与被动应对。关于情绪与呼吸关系的研究在很大程度上局限于呼吸频率、幅度和容量的相关因素。如果在调查中纳入更广泛的参数，如呼吸周期的形式，那么可能会做出比上述更精细的区分。
