Abstract

The undoing hypothesis proposes that positive emotions serve to undo sympathetic arousal related to negative emotions and stress. However, a recent qualitative review challenged the undoing effect by presenting conflicting results. To address this issue quantitatively, we conducted a meta-analytic review of 16 studies (N = 1,220; 72 effect sizes) measuring sympathetic recovery during elicited positive emotions and neutral conditions. Findings indicated that in most cases, positive emotions did not speed sympathetic recovery compared to neutral conditions. However, when a composite index of cardiovascular reactivity was used, undoing effects were evident. Our findings suggest the need for further work on the functions of positive emotions.

积极情绪的撤销效应:一项元分析回顾

撤销假说提出，积极情绪有助于撤销与消极情绪和压力相关的交感神经唤醒。然而，最近的一项定性审查提出了相互矛盾的结果，对撤销效应提出了质疑。为了定量地解决这个问题，我们对16项研究（N = 1220；72个效应大小）测量在引发的积极情绪和中性条件期间的交感神经恢复。研究结果表明，在大多数情况下，与中性条件相比，积极的情绪不会加速交感神经的恢复。然而，当使用心血管反应性的综合指数时，消除作用是明显的。我们的研究结果表明，需要进一步研究积极情绪的功能。
