我们的目的是检验个体情感特征和哭泣之间的联系，并评估Rottenberg，Bylsma和Vingerhoets(2008)研究哭泣和情绪的框架。我们从97名女性1004个详细的哭声中，分析了社会环境特征、哭者的情绪特征、哭声频率/想哭的次数和情绪变化之间的关系。想哭的冲动和哭的频率与较差的情绪有关，而想哭的冲动与更大的情绪变异性有关。在哭之前和之后都观察到了更糟糕的情绪，三分之一的哭导致了哭后情绪的改善。哭泣的好处，在发生时，是由社会环境和哭泣者的情感特征决定的。(C)2011 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
We aimed to examine the connections between individual affective characteristics and crying, and to evaluate Rottenberg, Bylsma, and Vingerhoets' (2008) framework for studying crying and mood. We analyzed the relationship among features of the social environment, mood characteristics of the crier, crying frequency/urge to cry, and mood change across 1004 detailed crying episodes sampled from 97 females. Urge to cry and crying frequency were associated with poorer mood, and urge to cry was associated with greater mood variability. Poorer mood was observed both before and after crying episodes, and one-third of crying episodes resulted in reported mood improvement following crying. Benefits of crying, when they occur, are shaped by the social environment and the affective characteristics of the crier. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
