文化背景塑造了个人对情感的评价。尽管研究已经记录了关于负面情绪效用的信念的文化差异，但关于这种文化价值如何与生理应激反应相关联，人们知之甚少。在目前的工作中，我们研究了东亚人和欧洲裔美国人在如何评估紧张情绪方面的不同，以及这种评估是否可以预测急性心血管反应。我们发现，东亚人比欧洲美国人更有可能相信在要求很高的情况下感到紧张是有用的。此外，对负面情绪的较高评价预示着对实验室心理应激源的心血管反应减弱，并部分中介了文化和心血管应激反应之间的关系。目前的结果强调了情绪评估作为一种心理机制的重要性，这种心理机制支撑着压力诱发的心血管反应的文化和个体差异。我们讨论了这一研究的一个含义，揭示了负面情绪评估的跨文化差异如何导致与健康结果相关的生理模式的文化差异。
Cultural context shapes individuals’ valuation of emotions. Although studies have documented cultural differences in beliefs about the utility of negative emotions, little is known about how such cultural valuation is associated with physiological stress responses. In the present work, we examined whether East Asians and European Americans differ in how they value nervousness in a demanding situation and whether such valuation predicts acute cardiovascular responses. We found that East Asians were more likely than European Americans to believe feeling nervous in a demanding situation was useful. Furthermore, greater valuation of negative emotion predicted attenuated cardiovascular responses to a laboratory mental stressor and partially mediated the relationship between culture and cardiovascular stress responses. The present results highlight the importance of valuation of emotions as a psychological mechanism underlying cultural as well as individual differences in stress-evoked cardiovascular responses. We discuss one implication for this line of research, unpacking how cross-cultural differences in valuation of negative emotions may lead to cultural variation in physiological patterns related to health outcomes.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
