The present study, aimed at investigating effects of film-induced amusement on saliva cortisol levels, was performed on 52 healthy male volunteers, aged 19-31 years. They were assigned to an amusement or a control condition. Saliva cortisol and affective film ratings were the dependent variables. During amusement 50% of the subjects showed changes in saliva cortisol correlated positively with ratings of funniness. Thus, cortisol secretion may be linked to emotional arousal, regardless of the emotional valence.
本研究旨在调查电影引发的娱乐对唾液皮质醇水平的影响，对52名年龄在19至31岁之间的健康男性志愿者进行了研究。他们被分为娱乐组或对照组。唾液皮质醇和情感电影评分是因变量。在娱乐过程中，50%的受试者唾液皮质醇发生变化，且与搞笑评分呈正相关。因此，无论情绪效价如何，皮质醇分泌可能与情绪唤醒有关。
