The effects of reading emotionally loaded statements on behavioral tasks and physiological measures were investigated. Statements were constructed to arouse elation, depression, or neutrality. Ss were both pre- and posttested on Writing Speed, Reaction Time, Decision Time, and Spontaneous Verbalizations. Base rates were obtained for heart rate and galvanic skin response. Elation Ss significantly outperformed both Neutral and Depression Ss on the Reaction Time task. Scores for Neutral Ss fell between those of Elation and Depression Ss on three of the four behavioral measures. No significant differneces were found on the physiological measures.
研究了阅读带有情感色彩的陈述对行为任务和生理指标的影响。构建了能引发兴奋、抑郁或中性情绪的陈述。对受试者在书写速度、反应时间、决策时间和自发言语表达方面进行了前后测试。获取了心率和皮肤电反应的基础数据。在反应时间任务中，兴奋组受试者的表现显著优于中性组和抑郁组受试者。在四项行为指标中的三项上，中性组受试者的得分介于兴奋组和抑郁组之间。在生理指标上未发现显著差异。
