Abstract

Global aspects of emotion have been central to psychosocial theories of health and health behavior for several decades. A growing body of research has documented key roles for several broad affective constructs – notably anxiety, depression, and anger/hostility – in areas ranging from basic physiological processes, health behaviors, and symptom reporting, to screening and detection behaviors and decision making. Despite this growth, however, the emotions-health literature remains scattered. Mechanisms are poorly understood and several key emotions – embarrassment, disgust, guilt and hope – have scarcely been examined. In presenting the advantages of a discrete emotions perspective, the current report reviews and critiques data describing the relations between discrete emotions and health. It presents a developmental-functionalist framework within which to more systematically consider the links between emotions and health. It is suggested that discrete emotions perspectives provide guidance for understanding the physiological, motivational, and cognitive pathways linking emotions and health and thus their impact on health outcomes.

离散情绪在健康结果中的作用:一项批判性综述
几十年来,情感的全局方面一直是健康和健康行为的社会心理理论的核心。越来越多的研究记录了几个广泛的情感结构的关键作用——特别是焦虑、抑郁和愤怒/敌意——从基本的生理过程、健康行为和症状报告,到筛查和检测行为和决策。然而,尽管有这种增长,关于情绪健康的文献仍然分散。人们对机制知之甚少,而一些关键情绪——尴尬、厌恶、内疚和希望——几乎没有被研究过。在介绍离散情绪观点的优势时,本报告审查和批评了描述离散情绪与健康之间关系的数据。它提出了一个发展功能主义的框架,在其中更系统地考虑情绪和健康之间的联系。研究表明,离散情绪视角为理解情绪与健康之间的生理、动机和认知途径以及它们对健康结果的影响提供了指导。
