In this study, 44 individual were exposed to three conditions (anxiety, bored, and neutral) while being covertly videotaped. The videotapes were then scored for the occurrence of five classes of habits including hair, face, and object manipulation; object mouthing; and repetitive movement of the limbs. Results showed that hair and face manipulation increased during the anxiety condition, whereas object manipulation increased in the bored condition. The implications of this research are discussed.
在本研究中,44名个体在被秘密录像时分别处于三种状态(焦虑、无聊和中性)。随后,对录像带进行评分,统计包括头发、面部及物品摆弄、物品咬嚼和肢体重复动作在内的五类习惯行为的出现情况。结果显示,焦虑状态下头发和面部摆弄行为增加,而无聊状态下物品摆弄行为增加。本文讨论了该研究的意义。
