新出现的研究表明，沉思会增加负面健康后果的风险。在研究愤怒沉思中皮质醇反应的第一个实验中，参与者被激怒并被诱导进行自我聚焦的沉思、挑衅聚焦的沉思或分心。与社会威胁理论一致，自我聚焦的沉思在被挑衅后保持高水平的皮质醇，而挑衅专注的沉思和分心促进了皮质醇的下降。然而，即使在专注于挑衅的沉思条件下，采用情绪反应、自我沉浸的观点也会与更高水平的皮质醇相关，关于自我的想法也是如此。移位攻击性的个体差异，而不是一般攻击性的个体差异，也与以挑衅为重点的条件下的皮质醇水平呈正相关。目前的发现揭示了沉思方式和皮质醇反应可能对健康和福祉产生长期影响的方式。
Emerging research suggests that rumination increases risk for negative health outcomes. In the first experiment to investigate cortisol responses during angry rumination, participants were provoked and induced to engage in self-focused rumination, provocation-focused rumination, or distraction. Consistent with social threat theory, self-focused rumination maintained high levels of cortisol following provocation, whereas provocation-focused rumination and distraction facilitated decreases in cortisol. However, even within the provocation-focused rumination condition, adopting an emotionally reactive, self-immersed perspective was associated with higher levels of cortisol as were thoughts about the self. Individual differences in displaced aggression but not general aggression were also positively associated with cortisol levels in the provocation-focused condition. The present findings shed light on rumination styles and cortisol responses in ways that may have long-term consequences for health and well-being.
