最近的一些实验表明，面部表情反应的调制伴随着自主觉醒和对疼痛刺激的主观反应的变化。本研究探讨了面部自我调节是否也会引起内隐情绪体验的变化。三组受试者被暴露于一个录像模型显示间歇性疼痛休克的差异替代性自主神经条件反射范例。分别要求受试者（a）抑制面部肌肉或（B）在模型受到电击时做出疼痛的面部反应。据预测，抑制组将显示较少的自主唤醒模型的表达显示（同理心）和较少的条件反射（通过皮肤电导和心率变化测量），放大组更多的同理心和条件反射，比第三组谁是givenno面部指令。事实上，与其他两组相比，放大组表现出更多的皮肤电导唤醒，心率加速和对模型表达疼痛的反应，但没有更多的自主神经或面部条件反射。生理数据的整体模式被解释为一般支持情绪的面部反馈理论：在面部活动中获得显著的组间差异，如在替代性刺激中，自主唤醒差异也出现了;在没有表达差异的情况下，如在替代性条件反射中，没有发现自主唤醒差异。
Several recent experiments have demonstrated that modulation of the facial expressive response is accompanied by changes in autonomic arousal and subjective response to painful stimuli. The present study asked whether facial self-regulation may also bring about changes in covertvicariousemotional experience. Three groups of subjects were exposed to a videotaped model displaying intermittent pain to shock in a differential vicarious autonomic conditioning paradigm. Subjects in theinhibitandamplifygroups were asked, respectively, (a) to inhibit their facial muscles or (b) to pose a facial response of pain when the model was shocked. It was predicted that the inhibit group would show less autonomic arousal to the model's expressive display (empathy) and less conditioning (as measured by skin conductance and heart rate change), and the amplify group more empathy and conditioning, than a third group who was givenno facial instruction. In fact, the amplify group showed more skin conductance arousal, heart rate acceleration, and activity in response to the model's expressive display of pain than did the other two groups (which were not different from each other), but no more autonomic or facial conditioning. The overall pattern of physiological data is interpreted as generally supportive of a facial feedback theory of emotion: where significant between-groups' differences were obtained in facial activity, as in vicarious instigation, autonomic arousal differences also emerged; where no expressive differences were obtained, as in vicarious conditioning, no differences in autonomic arousal were found.
