研究了负性情绪（NA）对6个月后躯体主诉的预测能力。状态NA，包括焦虑情绪（AA）和抑郁情绪（DA），分别在平均年龄62岁和73岁的老年人中进行测量。在第一项研究中，DA可靠地预测了后来的抱怨，而NA也有相应的趋势。第二项研究表明，状态NA及其2个组成变量预测6个月后与急性疾病（如感冒）相关的躯体疾病。第二项研究还检查了3个预测变量的特征测量，发现NA和AA与随后的躯体疾病相关，而不是DA。然而，这些特质的影响不如那些归因于他们的国家对应物的强大。作者得出结论，消极的情绪状态是后来身体症状报告的更一致的预测因素。
The ability of negative affect (NA) to predict somatic complaints 6 months later was examined. State NA, including anxious affect (AA) and depressive affect (DA), was measured in 2 separate samples of older adults averaging 62 and 73 years of age. In the first study, DA reliably predicted later complaints, and a corresponding trend was noted for NA. The second study showed that state NA and its 2 constituent variables predicted somatic complaints associated with acute illness (e.g., colds) 6 months later. The second study also examined trait measures of the 3 predictor variables and found that NA and AA, but not DA, were associated with subsequent somatic complaints. However, these trait effects were less robust than those attributable to their state counterparts. The authors conclude that negative mood states are the more consistent predictors of later physical symptom reports.
