The goal of this study was to further our understanding of the relationship between the ability to identify one's emotions and the kinds of emotion arousing experiences that people prefer. One hundred and eighty-six undergraduate students completed the Toronto Alexithymia Scale, the Beck Depression Inventory, and a questionnaire inquiring about subjects' movie preferences. Individuals who reported having difficulty identifying their emotions were more likely than those without such difficulty to prefer negatively valenced movies relative to happy movies. Individuals who had both high levels of depression and alexithymia were more likely to prefer fear-arousing rather than anger-arousing movies.
本研究的目的是进一步加深我们对识别自身情绪的能力与人们所偏好的引发情绪体验类型之间关系的理解。186名本科生完成了多伦多述情障碍量表、贝克抑郁量表以及一份询问受试者电影偏好的问卷。报告在识别自身情绪方面有困难的个体比没有此类困难的个体更有可能相对于快乐电影而言更喜欢负性情绪的电影。抑郁水平高且有述情障碍的个体更有可能更喜欢引发恐惧而非引发愤怒的电影。
