研究表明，以防御消极情绪为特征的压抑应对方式可能与几种不利的健康结果有关。这项研究调查了压抑性应对是否与血脂有关，以及这种联系是否受年龄或性别的影响。114名健康成年人在禁食一夜后抽血之前完成了马洛-克朗量表（MC）和班迪格版泰勒表现焦虑量表（TMAS）。分层回归分析显示，在控制了年龄、体重指数等主要效应和相互作用的影响后，性别、MC和TMAS对总胆固醇有显著的交互作用（F (1,104)= 4.41, p< 0.05）。结果显示，男性抑制因子（高MC，低TMAS）的胆固醇水平最高，而真正低焦虑的男性（低MC，低TMAS）的胆固醇水平最低。女性的情况正好相反。年龄和应对方式对血脂没有交互作用。研究结果表明，压抑负面情绪的男性患动脉粥样硬化疾病的风险更大。
Studies have suggested that a repressive coping style, characterized by defensiveness against negative emotions, may be related to several adverse health outcomes. This study examined whether repressive coping is associated with blood lipids, and whether this association is influenced by age or sex. One hundred fourteen healthy adults completed the Marlowe-Crowne scale (MC) and the Bendig version of the Taylor Manifest Anxiety scale (TMAS) prior to having their blood drawn after an overnight fast. Hierarchical regression analyses showed a significant interaction of sex, MC, and TMAS on total cholesterol (F (1, 104)= 4.41, p< 0.05), after controlling for the influence of age, body mass index, and other main effects and interactions. Results showed that male repressors (high MC; low TMAS) had the highest cholesterol levels, while truly low anxious males (low MC; low TMAS) had the lowest levels. The opposite pattern was noted for women. There were no interactive effects of age and coping style on lipids. The results suggest that males who repress negative emotions may be at greater risk for atherosclerotic diseases.
