“…The implication of the just-mentioned quotes from Costa and McCrae (1980) and Tellegen (1985) and implicit in much of the work in this area is the assumption that extraversion traits represent an inherent susceptibility to positive-affect states and neuroticism traits represent an inherent susceptibility to negative-affect states. 2 This implicit assumption was made explicit 1 Other personality dimensions have also been examined in relation to emotion, such as irrational beliefs (Cash, Rimm, & MacKinnon, 1986;Vestre, 1984), internal-external locus of control (Benassi, Sweeney, & Defour, 1988;Lefcourt, Miller, Ware, & Sherk, 1981), and Type A behavior pattern (Strube, Turner, Patrick, & Perrillo, 1983). Nevertheless, the greatest volume of research, as well as the most consistent corpus of findings, have been generated on the relation between extraverted traits and positive affect and the relation between neurotic traits and negative affect.…”

Gray's (1981) theory suggests that extraverts and neurotics are differentially sensitive to stimuli that generate positive and negative affect, respectively. From this theory it was hypothesized that efficacy of a standard positive-affect induction would be more strongly related to extraversion than to neuroticism scores, whereas efficacy of a standard negative-affect induction would be more strongly related to neuroticism scores. Positive and negative affect was manipulated in a controlled setting, and the effectiveness of the mood induction was assessed using standard mood adjective rating scales. Results are consistent with the hypothesis that neurotic Ss (compared with stable Ss) show heightened emotional reactivity to the negative-mood induction, whereas extraverts (compared with intraverts) show heightened emotional reactivity to the positive-mood induction. Results corroborate and extend previous findings.

“…In a different context, there is an extensive line of research about the emotional effects of negative self-statements following the Velten procedure (1968) which is described in the methodology section. The use of this procedure has been effective in provoking experimental depression (Riskind et al 1982;Riskind & Rholes 1985) and anxiety (Orton et al 1983;Cash et al 1986;Albersnagel, 1988).…”

Cardiovascular effects of traffic noise: the role of negative self-statements

1994

SynopsisThis study assesses cardiovascular and subjective effects of traffic noise and the mediator role that negative self-statements play. Eighty-four female students underwent a Physiological Reaction Test to two 15 min presentations of high intensity traffic noise (85–95 db) under two noise conditions, with and without negative self-statements. Half of the subjects were given specific instructions to increase the credibility of the self-statements. Dependent variables were heart rate (HR), blood volume pulse amplitude from both temporal arteries and subjective tension. Traffic noise provoked subjective tension and cardiovascular responses that did not habituate either within or between noise presentations. Negative self-statements had the greatest effect on HR. In fact, this response habituated to a second noise presented only when this condition was without negative self-statements. Instructions increased the effect of the self-statements only on the left temporal artery and also increased subjective tension. The implications of this physiological reactivity in psychosomatic problems and the importance of negative self-statements are discussed.

Induction and reversal of depression, anxiety, and hostility

Anxiety, hostility, and depression were induced and reversed by use of the Velton (1968) Mood Induction Procedure. Forty subjects were assigned randomly to one of four induction groups: Anxiety, Depression, Hostility, or Neutral. Mood states, measured by the Multiple Affect Adjective Check List (MAACL) were obtained before induction, after induction, and after reversal of moods. All mood induction treatments increased levels of all moods, but did not differentially increase a specific mood. Induced moods were reversed by using statements opposite to the induction ones. Mood induction was not correlated with previously administered Internal‐External Locus of Control and Profile of Mood States questionnaires, but a high baseline MAACL score was correlated with low mood induction. Questions amenable to future research were raised.
