我们研究了如何抑制一个令人兴奋的想法影响交感神经唤醒指数的皮肤电导水平（SCL）。受试者被要求大声思考，因为他们按照指示思考或不思考各种主题。实验1表明，与思考或不思考不那么令人兴奋的话题（例如，跳舞）。实验2显示，无论受试者是否相信他们的有声思维报告是私人的还是公共的，抑制性的想法都会使SCL升高，并且还显示这种效果在几分钟内消失。实验3发现这种耗散再次，但表明，随后入侵的抑制兴奋的想法与SCL的进一步海拔超过30分钟。因为这样的协会没有发现当受试者试图思考的兴奋的想法，有人建议，抑制兴奋的想法可能参与生产的慢性情绪反应，如恐惧症和强迫性的偏见。
We examined how the suppression of an exciting thought influences sympathetic arousal as indexed by skin conductance level (SCL). Subjects were asked to think aloud as they followed instructions to think about or not to think about various topics. Experiment 1 showed that trying not to think about sex, like thinking about sex, elevates SCL in comparison to thinking about or not thinking about less exciting topics (e.g., dancing). Experiment 2 revealed that the suppression of the thought of sex yielded SCL elevation whether or not subjects believed their think-aloud reports would be private or public, and it also revealed that the effect dissipated over the course of a few minutes. Experiment 3 found such dissipation again but showed that subsequent intrusions of the suppressed exciting thought are associated with further elevations in SCL over 30 min. Because such an association was not found when subjects were trying to think about the exciting thought, it was suggested that the suppression of exciting thoughts might be involved in the production of chronic emotional responses such as phobias and obsessive preoccupations.
