“…In HC, it has been previously reported that dynamic facial expression of emotion could enhance emotional feeling as compared with static stimuli, such as photographs [43]. Vicente et al [44] reported that patients with PD, independently of the stage of the disease or the dopaminergic medication, were unimpaired in emotion recognition from emotional films. However, because the film stimuli were presented with a soundtrack, it is not possible to decide whether patients with PD were better with films because the stimuli were dynamic, or because the stimuli were bimodal.…”

“…As shown, PD patients and normal comparisons reported similar degrees of fear and anger in all experimental tasks. This finding is consistent with a previous report where no difference between PD and comparison participants was found in subjective report of emotion during watching films with emotional contents (Vicente et al, 2011).…”

“…In one study, Wieser and colleagues found that PD patients rated emotionallyarousing pictures less exciting in comparison to the control subjects (Wieser et al, 2006). In another study, however, Vicente et al did not find any significant differences between subjects with and without PD in self-reported emotion when they watched films with emotional contents (Vicente et al, 2011). Interestingly, in a study using subthalamic nucleus stimulation (STN) in PD, it was found that patients reported less intense feeling of fear, anxiety, and disgust (during watching fearful films) after they received STN treatment, in comparison to before the treatment (Vicente et al, 2009).…”

Dynamic characteristics of emotion and effects of emotion on driving in normal aging and Parkinson’s disease

Previous studies have shown that the experience of negative emotions is rarer, while experience of positive emotions is more frequent in the elderly, suggesting an overall improvement in emotional well-being as people age. However, most research did not account for the dynamic characteristics of emotions (e.g. peak intensity, latency, duration) and the levels of emotional challenges. In addition, since most previous studies have focused on studying the experience, expression, and psychophysiological response of emotion, it is still not fully understood how performance in cognitive or behavioral tasks (e.g., automobile driving) can be affected by emotions in older age. To address this gap, the current study examined the effect of normal aging on the dynamic processes of emotion during different levels of emotional challenge (aim 1), and the effect of emotion on driving in older adults as compared to middle-aged adults (aim 2).Parkinson's disease (PD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disease that shares similar pathological characteristics with the process of normal aging (i.e., reduced dopamine), but to a much higher degree. In addition to investigating the effect of normal aging, the current study also examined the effect of "abnormal aging" on emotion and driving using PD as a model (aim 3).Participants included 16 older (65 -79 years old), 16 middle-aged (38 -55 years old) neurologically normal adults, and 16 patients with mild PD (56 -80 years old). This study focused on fear and anger, the two negative emotions that are most likely to be elicited by driving experiences and to disrupt driving behaviors. Low-level and high-level fear and anger challenges were created using simulated driving scenarios: 1) Low fear task, participants drove in fog and frequently encountered static obstacles on the road; 2) High fear task, participants drove at nighttime and frequently encountered deer running across the road; 3) Low anger task, participants drove following a slow-moving vehicle; 4) High anger task, participants followed a slow vehicle iv and were honked at by a tailgating vehicle. Participants rated the intensity of fear and anger experiences at 1-minute intervals when they were driving.Comparing older adults against middle-aged adults, it was found that 1) fear intensity was lower in older adults in the low fear task. In contrast, latency and duration of fear were similar between groups in both fear tasks. 2) Anger intensity was lower in older adults in both anger tasks.Anger latency and duration were similar between groups in the high anger task, but anger took longer to develop and was of shorter duration in older adults in the low anger task. 3) In the low fear task, older adults exhibited more cautious driving behaviors (e.g., more frequent uses of brake). In the high anger task older adults were less able to control the acceleration and brake pedals smoothly (e.g., higher forces for brake and acceleration). These results suggest that age differences in the dynamic processes of emotion and the effect of em...

“…After each relaxation and presentation phase, participants reported the intensity of their emotional experiences on the Differential Emotions Scale, 41 which consists of 10 visual analogue scales: 1) interested, concentrated, alert; 2) joyful, happy, amused; 3) sad, downhearted, blue; 4) angry, irritated, mad; 5) fearful, scared, afraid; 6) anxious, tense, nervous; 7) disgusted, turned off, repulsed; 8) disdainful, scornful, contemptuous; 9) surprised, amazed, astonished; 10) warmhearted, gleeful, elated. Each scale ranged from 0 (no subjective emotional experience at all) to 7.5 (very intense subjective emotional experience).…”

Background: Within the heterogeneity of schizophrenia, apathy constitutes an independent cluster of negative symptoms associated with poor outcomes. Attempts to identify an emotional deficit in patients who have schizophrenia with negative symptoms have yielded mixed results, and studies that focus on the relationship between apathy and emotional disorders are lacking. Methods: We set out to remedy this shortcoming using a validated battery of film excerpts to induce positive and negative emotions in patients with chronic schizophrenia with (n = 20) or without (n = 20) apathy, and in controls (n = 20) comparable for age, sex and socioeconomic status. We assessed emotions using an innovative but validated technique to evaluate tonic and phasic electrodermal activity and subjective feelings using a standardized visual analogue scale. Results: Using a qualitative measure of apathy, we did not find a specific decrease in tonic activity during the induction of positive emotions. However, we did observe that patients with apathy showed reduced tonic activity independent of valence (i.e., for both positive and negative emotions) compared with controls and patients without apathy. Moreover, the quantitative measure of apathy (Apathy Evaluation Scale) was the only significant factor, explaining 24% of the variance in tonic activity during induction of positive emotions after controlling for confounding factors. Limitations: Electrodermal activity was the only physiologic measure we acquired. We induced several emotions sequentially that might have overlapped with each other, but we added an emotional "washout" period and randomized the order of each film excerpt to limit this possibility. Conclusion: Taken together, these results suggest that apathy in schizophrenia could impair tonic activity during positive emotions. Treatments aimed at enhancing positive emotions may help alleviate apathy in schizophrenia.
