在一系列的三个探索性研究中，我们检查了由Velten情绪诱导程序（VMIP）产生的兴奋和悲伤的内分泌相关性。在研究1中，10名女大学生分别在不同的日子参与了情绪诱导。在研究2中，12名女大学生参与了中性情绪诱导。在研究3中，16名大学年龄的女演员参与了与研究1相同的情绪诱导。在每项研究中，我们都会定期评估情绪、血清皮质醇和生长激素、心率和血压的主观评分。结果表明，vvmip诱导了期望的情绪。血清皮质醇在悲伤和高兴情绪诱导下均有相同的升高，但在中性情绪诱导下没有变化。还观察到情绪和皮质醇水平之间的选择性关联。有趣的是，我们研究3的数据也表明，情绪高涨和生长激素之间可能存在关联。这些内分泌变化似乎不是心血管变化所指示的一般觉醒的功能。我们的结论是，兴奋和悲伤与内分泌伴随物有关，VMIP是检查这种关联的可行方法。这些以前未报道的影响-内分泌的关系进行了讨论，并考虑了情绪的心理生物学理论的影响。
In a series of three exploratory studies, we examined the endocrine correlates of elation and sadness produced by the Velten Mood Induction Procedure (VMIP). In Study 1, 10 college females participated in elation and sadness mood inductions on separate days. In Study 2, 12 college females participated in a neutral mood induction. In Study 3, 16 college-aged actresses participated in elation and sadness mood inductions as in Study 1. At regular intervals in each study, we assessed subjective ratings of emotions, serum cortisol and growth hormone, and heart rate and blood pressure. Results demonstrated that the VMIP induced the desired moods. Serum cortisol increased equally in response to both the sadness and elation mood inductions, but showed no change in response to the neutral mood induction. Select associations between affect and cortisol levels were also observed. Interestingly, our data from Study 3 also suggest that an association may exist between elation and growth hormone. These endocrine changes did not appear to be a function of general arousal as indexed by cardiovascular changes. We conclude that elation and sadness are associated with endocrine concomitants and that the VMIP is a viable method for examining such associations. These previously unreported affect-endocrine relationships are discussed and implications for psychobiological theories of emotion are considered.
