_7A|OR^ z3Y0Positive emotions are often seen as critical aspects of healthy living, but new research suggests that the link between emotion and health outcomes may vary by cultural context. The findings, published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, show that experiencing positive emotions is linked with better cardiovascular health in the US but not in Japan.

4f6i)EkK7z8SZ0积极情绪通常被视为健康生活的关键方面,但新的研究表明情感和健康结果之间的联系可能因文化背景而有所不同。这项发表在APS期刊《心理科学》杂志上的研究结果表明,在美国,积极的情绪与心血管健康的改善有关,而在日本则不然。心理学空间B:U[@;i2p0GWY

P&c3rv6}8J0“Our key finding is that positive emotions predict blood-lipid profiles differently across cultures,” says psychological scientist Jiah Yoo of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. “American adults who experience high levels of positive emotions, such as feeling ‘cheerful’ and ‘extremely happy’, are more likely to have healthy blood-lipid profiles, even after accounting for other factors such as age, gender, socioeconomic status, and chronic conditions. However, this was not true for Japanese adults.”

&J:u q)^%m&``8T2`'F0威斯康星-麦迪逊大学的心理学家Jiah Yoo说:“我们的关键发现是,在跨文化研究中,以积极情绪预测血脂的高低,其结果是不同的。”,“即使是在考虑到年龄、性别、社会经济地位和慢性病等因素后,那些体验了诸如了“快乐”和“极度幸福”的这些较高积极情绪的美国人,更有可能拥有健康的血脂。然而,这对日本成年人来说,并非如此。”心理学空间*n5W1s[a#D E2Z"q

“Our findings underscore the importance of cultural context for understanding links between emotion and health, something that has been largely ignored in the literature,” Yoo adds. “Although some studies have examined cultural differences in links between positive emotions and healthy functioning, this work is novel in that it includes biological measures of health and large representative samples from both countries.”心理学空间lp?:A6S'j"r
“我们的研究结果强调了文化背景在理解情绪和健康之间关系的重要性,这些东西已经很大程度上被文献著作忽略了。”Yoo补充说,“尽管一些研究已经研究了积极情绪和健康功能之间的文化差异,但这项工作是新颖的,因为它包括了健康的生物学测量以及来自两国大量有代表性的样本。”心理学空间n `6t7cH%Y4v:A3vC

The fact that positive emotions are conceived of and valued differently across cultures led Yoo and colleagues to wonder whether the health benefits observed in tandem with positive emotions might be specific to Western populations.

“In American cultures, experiencing positive emotions is seen as desirable and is even encouraged via socialization. But in East Asian cultures, people commonly view positive emotions as having dark sides – they are fleeting, may attract unnecessary attention from others, and can be a distraction from focusing on important tasks,” says Yoo.
c"X6AEFo0Yoo说:“在美国文化中,积极情绪的体验似乎是值得拥有的、甚至通过社会化的进程得到了鼓励。但是在东亚文化中,人们普遍人为,作为有着阴暗面的积极情绪,它们会转瞬即逝,有可能会吸引别人不必要的关注,并且会分散对重要任务的的关注。”心理学空间3Y o&Q$P:B

:X9ex _i)wR%hJ0The researchers designed a cross-cultural comparison, examining data from two large representative studies of adults: Midlife in the United States and Midlife in Japan, both funded by the National Institute on Aging. Data included participants’ ratings of how frequently they felt 10 different positive emotions in the previous 30 days and measures of blood lipids, which provided objective data on participants’ heart health.心理学空间M"k7~0V ADP

“Because of the global prevalence of coronary artery disease, blood lipids are considered important indices of biological health in many Western and East Asian countries,” Yoo explains.心理学空间Yng6}t$]T

The differences may be due, in part, to the relationships between positive emotions and BMI in each culture. Higher positive emotions were linked with lower BMI and, in turn, healthier lipid profiles among American participants, but not among Japanese participants.

这种差异可能部分归因于每种文化中积极情绪和BMI之间的关系。较高的积极情绪与较低的BMI相关联,反过来,更健康的血脂勾勒了美国参与者,但不是日本的参与者。

In future work, the researchers will examine longitudinal data to determine whether the evidence suggests a direct causal link between emotions and health. They also hope to identify emotional profiles that may be more relevant or important to health outcomes in East Asian cultures.
