背景临床和实验结果表明，失眠与情绪处理的变化和认知功能的损害有关。在本研究中，我们研究了失眠症患者以及健康对照者的面部情绪识别与执行功能之间的关系。方法 共有 11 名被诊断患有失眠症的个体（平均年龄 31.3 +/- 9.4 岁）和 15 名对照参与者（平均年龄 24.8 +/- 4.6 岁）参加了这项研究。参与者对面部情绪识别任务做出反应，该任务向他们提供静态和动态刺激，并在认知、睡眠和情绪方面进行评估。结果与对照组相比，我们发现失眠参与者在识别恐惧的面部情绪方面表现较差（p = 0.001；eta p2 = 0.549；beta = 0.999），并且在言语理解和知觉组织测试中得分较低（104.00 vs. 115.00，U = 135.5；p = 0.004；Cohen's，2013） d = 1.281）。我们还发现面部情绪识别与认知测试中的表现之间存在关系，例如与知觉组织、认知灵活性和工作记忆相关的测试。结论 结果表明，失眠的参与者可能会出现执行功能以及负价面部情绪（恐惧和悲伤）识别方面的一些障碍。
Background Clinical and experimental findings suggest that insomnia is associated with changes in emotional processing and impairments in cognitive functioning. In the present study, we investigate the relationship between facial emotion recognition and executive functioning among individuals with insomnia as well as healthy controls. Method A total of 11 individuals (mean age 31.3 +/- 9.4) diagnosed with insomnia disorder and 15 control participants (mean age 24.8 +/- 4.6) took part in the study. Participants responded to a facial emotion recognition task which presented them with static and dynamic stimuli, and were evaluated with regard to cognition, sleep, and mood. Results Compared to controls, we found that participants with insomnia performed worse in the recognition of the facial emotion of fear (p = 0.001;eta p2 = 0.549; beta = 0.999) and had lower scores in tests of verbal comprehension and perceptual organization (104.00 vs. 115.00, U = 135.5; p = 0.004; Cohen's, 2013 d = 1.281). We also found a relationship between facial emotion recognition and performance in cognitive tests, such as those related to perceptual organization, cognitive flexibility, and working memory. Conclusion Results suggest that participants with insomnia may present some impairment in executive functions as well as in the recognition of facial emotions with negative valences (fear and sadness).
