我们研究了人们的面部活动影响他们的情感反应的假设。两项研究旨在消除早期实验的方法学问题,并澄清理论上的模糊性。这是通过让受试者在他们的嘴里拿一支笔来实现的,这种方式抑制或促进了通常与微笑相关的肌肉,而不需要受试者摆出笑脸。研究1的结果证明了该程序的有效性。受试者报告更激烈的幽默反应时,漫画的促进条件下比抑制条件下,排除标签的面部表情的情感类别。研究2进一步验证了方法,并回答了其他理论问题。结果重复了研究1的发现,也表明,面部反馈的情感,但不是幽默反应的认知成分。最后,结果表明,抑制和易化机制可能有助于观察到的情感反应。(PsycINFO数据库记录(c)2016阿帕,保留所有权利)
We investigated the hypothesis that people's facial activity influences their affective responses. Two studies were designed to both eliminate methodological problems of earlier experiments and clarify theoretical ambiguities. This was achieved by having subjects hold a pen in their mouth in ways that either inhibited or facilitated the muscles typically associated with smiling without requiring subjects to pose in a smiling face. Study 1's results demonstrated the effectiveness of the procedure. Subjects reported more intense humor responses when cartoons were presented under facilitating conditions than under inhibiting conditions that precluded labeling of the facial expression in emotion categories. Study 2 served to further validate the methodology and to answer additional theoretical questions. The results replicated Study 1's findings and also showed that facial feedback operates on the affective but not on the cognitive component of the humor response. Finally, the results suggested that both inhibitory and facilitatory mechanisms may have contributed to the observed affective responses.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
