本研究探讨了积极情绪与健康之间的关系。两种积极的情绪，希望和好奇心，结合3个医生诊断的疾病结果：高血压，糖尿病和呼吸道感染。医疗数据是从多专业医疗实践的1，041份患者记录中提取的，为期2年，并通过邮寄问卷评估情绪。在3种疾病结局中，更高水平的希望与患或发展疾病的可能性降低相关。好奇心越强，患高血压和糖尿病的可能性就越小。结果表明，积极情绪可能在疾病的发展中起保护作用。
This study examined the relationships between positive emotions and health. Two positive emotions were considered, hope and curiosity, in conjunction with 3 physician-diagnosed disease outcomes: hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and respiratory tract infections. Medical data were abstracted over a 2-year period from 1,041 patient records from a multispecialty medical practice, and emotions were assessed through a mailed questionnaire. Across 3 disease outcomes, higher levels of hope were associated with a decreased likelihood of having or developing a disease. Higher levels of curiosity were also associated with decreased likelihood of hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Results suggest that positive emotion may play a protective role in the development of disease.
