尽管对压力源的反应对健康既有不利的影响，也有积极的影响，但许多人认为压力完全是消极的。研究表明，对压力的负面看法会阻碍幸福感，并导致避免应激源。针对各种压力评估过程的压力优化干预可能是重新构建个人如何理解和应对压力源的有用工具。目前的研究扩展了先前关于压力重塑的发现，并试图检查关于压力结果的信息的呈现可能在多大程度上影响个体对随后的压力源做出反应。77名本科生(96%为女性)被随机分成四种重塑条件(平衡压力结果、消极压力结果、积极压力结果和对照)，并接受心理社会应激源。结果强调了在心率和血压测量中平衡框架和积极框架之间的相似之处，而对压力和皮肤电活动的主观评级表明，平衡框架可能在缓解压力方面有效。研究结果是在不同的压力优化干预措施的背景下讨论的，并考虑了个体压力反应的复杂性。
Although responses to stressors have both adverse and positive consequences on health, many believe that stress is entirely negative. Research revealed that negative beliefs about stress can hinder well-being and result in the avoidance of stressors. Stress-optimizing interventions that target various stress appraisal processes may be a useful tool to reframe how individuals understand and respond to stressors. The current study extends previous findings on stress reframing and sought to examine the extent to which the presentation of information about stress outcomes may influence the individual to respond to subsequent stressors. Seventy-seven undergraduate students (96% female) were randomized into one of four reframing conditions (balanced stress outcomes, negative stress outcomes, positive stress outcomes, and control) and underwent a psychosocial stressor. Results highlight similarities between balanced and positive framings of stress across measures of heart rate and blood pressure, whereas subjective ratings of stress and electrodermal activity suggest balanced framing may be efficacious in attenuating stress. Findings are discussed in the context of differing stress-optimizing interventions and consider the complexities of the individual stress response.
