作者调查了表达性写作是否通过减少与事件相关的侵入性想法或通过使人们对这种想法脱敏来增强对压力事件（研究生入学考试）的情绪适应。实验组的受试者被要求写下他们对考试最深刻的想法和感受，从考试前1个月（时间1）到3天（时间2），抑郁症状显着下降。对照组的受试者写了一个微不足道的话题，在同一时期，抑郁症状保持相对较高的水平。表达性写作并不影响侵入性思维的频率，但它缓和了侵入性思维对抑郁症状的影响。具体来说，在时间1的侵入性想法是积极相关的抑郁症状在时间2的控制组和表达性写作组的症状无关。在令人厌恶的事件中，许多人都有强烈的冲动来表达他们与事件相关的想法和感受（Rime，1995）。这种冲动可能是由与通风相关的舒适感所激发的，或者它可能反映了试图通过社会分享来理解负面事件或验证自己的感受。无论动机是什么，似乎披露压力事件与身体和心理的改善有关。幸福的评论）。情绪表达或抑制解除也是许多心理治疗干预的核心特征（Stiles，1995）。有暗示性证据表明，一般的抑制，可以被定义为隐藏或不向他人表达重要经历的倾向，可能对健康产生巨大影响。例如，在一项对HIV血清阳性男性的研究中，隐藏同性恋身份的男性比公开同性恋身份的男性艾滋病毒感染进展更快（科尔，Kemeny，Taylor，Visscher，& Fahey，1996）。尽管越来越多的证据表明，情绪表达在应对压力时可能是适应性的，但研究人员对这种现象背后的机制知之甚少。然而，最近，有人试图将基于表达的益处与认知调整过程联系起来（例如，独立于对披露的社会反应，情绪表达可能通过迫使个体面对（即，我感谢玛莎弗朗西斯和詹姆斯彭尼贝克分享语言调查和单词计数程序，这是用于本研究的内容分析。电子邮件可以发送…
The author investigated whether expressive writing enhances emotional adaptation to a stressful event (graduate entrance exams) by reducing event-related intrusive thoughts or by desensitizing people to such thoughts. Participants in the experimental group, who were instructed to write their deepest thoughts and feelings about the exam, exhibited a significant decline in depressive symptoms from 1 month (Time 1) to 3 days (Time 2) before the exam. Participants in the control group, who wrote about a trivial topic, maintained a relatively high level of depressive symptoms over this same period. Expressive writing did not affect the frequency of intrusive thoughts, but it moderated the impact of intrusive thoughts on depressive symptoms. Specifically, intrusive thoughts at Time 1 were positively related to depressive symptoms at Time 2 in the control group and were unrelated to symptoms in the expressive writing group. During aversive events, many people have a strong urge to express their thoughts and feelings related to the events (Rime, 1995). This urge may be motivated by the comfort associated with ventilation or it may reflect an attempt to make sense of a negative event or validate one's feelings through social sharing. Whatever the motive, it appears that disclosure about stressful events is associated with improvements in physical and psycho-logica ! well-being for reviews). Emotional expression, or disinhibition, is also a central feature of many psychotherapeutic interventions (Stiles, 1995). There is suggestive evidence that inhibition in general, which can be defined as the tendency to conceal or not express significant experiences to others, may have dramatic effects on health. For instance, in a study of HIV-seropositive men, HIV infection advanced more rapidly in men who concealed their homosexual identity than in men who were more open about their identity (Cole, Kemeny, Taylor, Visscher, & Fahey, 1996). Despite the cumulative evidence that emotional expression may be adaptive when coping with stress, researchers have gained little insight into the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon. Recently, however, there have been attempts to connect expression based benefits to cognitive processes of adjustment (e. Independent of social reactions to disclosures, emotional expression might facilitate cognitive processing of stressful experiences by forcing individuals to confront (i.e., contemplate and evaluate) the stressful stimulus and their responses to it.
