一本强有力的文献记录了深情交流对健康的好处。本研究对这些文献进行了荟萃分析，以评估深情沟通对几个健康领域的总体影响，包括心血管、应激激素、应激反应和心理健康。我们还检查了潜在的调节因素，包括深情交流和性行为的类型，同时预测表达的爱的好处超过了收到的爱的好处。我们发现，深情沟通和健康之间的关系的加权平均效应r=0.23，根据健康结果类型的不同而不同，但对情感类型或性别没有影响。表白的效果超过了接受的效果。本文讨论了这些结果的含义。
A robust literature documents the health benefits of affectionate communication. The present study offers a meta-analysis of this literature to estimate general effects of affectionate communication on several areas of health, including cardiovascular, stress hormonal, stress reactivity, and mental health. We also examined potential moderators, including the type of affectionate communication and sex, while predicting that the benefits of expressed affection outweigh the benefits of received affection. We found a weighted mean effect ofr= .23 for the relationship between affectionate communication and health, with differences based on type of health outcome but none for type of affection or sex. The effect of expressed affection exceeded the effect of received affection. The paper discusses the implications of these results.
