接近和回避是两种行为反应，使人们倾向于接近积极和避免消极的情况。本研究探讨图片的情感状态是否会影响姿势行为。当站在Wii（TM）平衡板上时，参与者观看愉快的，中性的和不愉快的图片（被动观看阶段）。然后，他们必须向左或向右移动身体（横向运动阶段），以使下一张图片出现。我们记录了前后方向的运动，以检查方法和回避行为。在被动观看的过程中，人们接近令人愉快的图片。他们在横向移动时避开了不愉快的事情。这些发现为我们倾向于接近积极的情况并避免消极的情况提供了支持。
Approach and avoidance are two behavioral responses that make people tend to approach positive and avoid negative situations. This study examines whether postural behavior is influenced by the affective state of pictures. While standing on the Wii (TM) Balance Board, participants viewed pleasant, neutral, and unpleasant pictures (passively viewing phase). Then they had to move their body to the left or the right (lateral movement phase) to make the next picture appear. We recorded movements in the anterior-posterior direction to examine approach and avoidant behavior. During passively viewing, people approached pleasant pictures. They avoided unpleasant ones while they made a lateral movement. These findings provide support for the idea that we tend to approach positive and avoid negative situations.
