DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This research is designed to further the results described in Benning, Patrick, and Lang (in press), a study in which the post-auricular (PA) reflex was shown to be potentiated by pleasant pictures and inhibited by unpleasant pictures, particularly for high-intensity pictures. The first proposed study will investigate the effects of specific slide contents on PA reflex magnitudes, in addition to measuring the time course of the emotional modulation of the PA reflex. The second study will examine the effects of an active response set on emotional PA reflex modulation in a behavioral task. In the second study, the effects of dysphoria on PA reflex magnitudes will also be examined by forming high and low dysphoria groups based on measures of depression and positive emotionality. The effects of gender and ear of recording on the modulation of the PA reflex will be investigated in both studies.

描述（由申请人提供）：本研究旨在进一步研究Benning， Patrick和Lang（出版中）所描述的结果，该研究表明，耳后反射（PA）被愉快的图片增强，被不愉快的图片抑制，特别是对于高强度的图片。除了测量PA反射情绪调节的时间过程外，第一项研究将探讨特定的载玻片内容对PA反射强度的影响。第二项研究将考察主动反应集对行为任务中情绪PA反射调节的影响。在第二项研究中，焦虑症对PA反射强度的影响也将根据抑郁和积极情绪的测量结果，通过形成高焦虑组和低焦虑组来检验。性别和录音耳朵对PA反射调节的影响将在两项研究中进行研究。
