EMOTION, FACIAL EXPRESSION AND ANS ACTIVITY

目标：(1)澄清和扩大我们在以下方面的分歧 区分四种阴性的自主神经系统(ANS) 情绪(恐惧、愤怒、厌恶和悲伤)以及在这些负面情绪之间 情绪，以及快乐和惊喜的情绪。(二)确定 无论这种ANS活动模式是否具有情绪特异性 情绪是如何产生的，或随着情绪激发者的变化而变化。(3) 要了解一种情感的强度和情感的混合程度 已在ANS活动中注册。(4)表明有可能拥有 有区别的情绪体验(在ANS和主观报告中)，没有 面部活动，通过检查Mobius综合征患者。(5)至 说明自愿面部动作涉及的机制是什么 产生不同的ANS活动和主观情感体验。 (6)考察被唤起两种情绪的ANS活动 同时混合在一起。(7)考察个体差异 表现力和自主活动。 与健康相关：对情绪混合的研究可能表明，当情绪 同时发生的情况是人们对自己的感受感到困惑。 学习当情绪完全不同时，生理会发生什么 同时发生的生理模式可能与 了解情绪何时会对健康产生不利影响。 确定产生情绪的自愿努力是否可以终止或 减弱不由自主的情绪会开始暗示我们的技术 对于自我产生情绪有任何可能的治疗价值。

Objectives: (1) to clarify and extend our finding of differences in autonomic nervous system (ANS) that distinguish among four negative emotions (fear, anger, disgust and sadness) and between these negative emotions and the emotions of happiness and surprise. (2) to determine whether such patterns of ANS activity are emotion-specific regardless of how the emotion was brought forth, or vary with the emotion elicitor. (3) to learn how the intensity of an emotion and blends of emotion are registered in ANS activity. (4) to show that it is possible to have differentiated emotional experience (in ANS and subjective report) with no facial activity, by examining patients with Mobius syndrome. (5) to illuminate what mechanisms are involved in voluntary facial actions generating differentiated ANS activity and subjective emotional experience. (6) to examine ANS activity where two emotions are called forth simultaneously in a blend. (7) to examine individual differences in expressive and autonomic activity. Health relevance: Study of emotion blends may show that it is when emotions occur simultaneously that people become confused about how they feel. Learning what happens to physiology when emotions with quite different physiological patterns occur simultaneously may be relevant to understanding when emotions can have adverse health consequences. Determining whether voluntary efforts to generate emotion can terminate or attenuate involuntary emotions will begin to suggest whether our techniques for self-generation of emotion have any possible therapeutic value.
