Effects of emotional writing on improvement of psychological and physical health, and higher cognitive functioning: A cognitive and behavioral study

本研究旨在从认知和行为的角度探讨情绪写作对身心健康和高级认知功能的影响。并没有发现结构化写作条件对提高与消极思想的距离的影响超过自由写作的感觉和思想，以及对心理健康（即创伤后应激反应）和高级认知功能（即工作记忆）的控制条件。然而，有人认为距离增加了。需要进一步的研究来检验有关的程序。

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of emotional writing on mental and physical health, and higher cognitive functioning from the cognitive and behavioral perspective. It was not found that the structured writing condition to enhance the distancing from the negative thought exceeded the writing freely feelings and thoughts and control conditions about mental health (i.e. posttraumatic stress responses) and higher cognitive functioning (i.e. working memory). However, it was suggested that the distancing increased. Further research is needed to examine the procedures about it.
