Subjective Feeling States in Emotion: Implications of the Vascular Theory of Emotional Efference

这一提议解决了身体反应对情感体验的影响这一重要问题。PI开发的“情绪输出血管理论”提出，认知上无中介的面部反馈可以对感受到或体验到的情绪产生相当大的影响。该理论是基于面部肌肉收缩可以通过影响金星血流来影响下丘脑区域的温度的发现。在这项研究中，将尝试进行大量涉及动物和人类的研究，这有望为人类情绪反应的本质提供一些重要的证据。PI是心理学领域最杰出的科学家之一，在该学科的各个领域做出了广泛的贡献。

This proposal addresses the important issue of the impact of bodily reactions on the experience of emotion. The theory developed by the PI, the "Vascular Theory of Emotional Efference," proposes that cognitively unmediated facial feedback can have a considerable impact on felt or experienced emotions. The theory is based on the finding that facial muscle contractions can affect the temperature of the hypothalamic region by affecting venus blood flow. Numerous studies involving both animal and human respondents will be attempted in this research, which promises to provide some important evidence about the nature of human emotional responding. The PI is one of psychology's most outstanding scientists, having contributed widely, to diverse areas in the discipline.
