有两项研究验证了这样一个假设：某些积极情绪可以加速负面情绪导致的心血管后遗症的康复。在研究1中，60名受试者（Ss）观看了一部引发恐惧的电影，并被随机分配观看引发以下内容的第二部电影：（a）满足;（B）娱乐;（c）中立;或（d）悲伤。与观看中性和悲伤二级电影的学生相比，观看积极电影的学生表现出更快的心血管激活恢复到电影前水平。在研究2中，72名学生观看了一部引起悲伤的电影。五十个学生在观看这部电影时，至少自发地笑了一次。与没有微笑的学生相比，那些微笑的学生表现出更快地恢复到电影前的心血管激活水平。我们讨论这些发现的情绪理论和可能的健康促进功能的积极情绪。
Two studies tested the hypothesis that certain positive emotions speed recovery from the cardiovascular sequelae of negative emotions. In Study 1, 60 subjects (Ss) viewed an initial fear-eliciting film, and were randomly assigned to view a secondary film that elicited: (a) contentment; (b) amusement; (c) neutrality; or (d) sadness. Compared to Ss who viewed the neutral and sad secondary films, those who viewed the positive films exhibited more rapid returns to pre-film levels of cardiovascular activation. In Study 2, 72 Ss viewed a film known to elicit sadness. Fifty Ss spontaneously smiled at least once while viewing this film. Compared to Ss who did not smile, those who smiled exhibited more rapid returns to pre-film levels of cardiovascular activation. We discuss these findings in terms of emotion theory and possible health-promoting functions of positive emotions.
