诗歌翻译中的情绪语境转换

随着语境研究的深入与完善,各层次及各视角的语境研究也有着相应发展,情绪语境便为其中之一。诗歌中的动美、静美以及动静结合之美都无一不体现着诗人或悲或喜或怨或怒的情感,这样的情绪语境在诗歌翻译中的转换会使得诗歌的审美境界在译者主体性的充分发挥之下得到转换与延续。

Defocused Attention in Depressed Mood: Evidence From Source Monitoring.

The authors suggest that depressed mood is associated with a defocused mode of attention, allowing irrelevant information to be noticed and processed more than in nondepressed states. Working on a source monitoring task, subclinically depressed college students selected with the Beck Depression Inventory (A. T. Beck, 1967; D. Kammer, 1983) had better memory for irrelevant stimulus aspects than nondepressed control students. However, depressed students' performance on the relevant stimulus aspects was unimpaired. These results are in conflict with a capacity reduction view of depressed mood and support the hypothesized altered, defocused mode, in which attentional resources are more evenly allocated across various aspects of the materials. The results are discussed within the framework of adaptive functions of emotional states. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Memory Accessibility, Mood Regulation, and Dysphoria: Difficulties in Repairing Sad Mood With Happy Memories?

Recent studies have suggested that mood-incongruency effects are due to mood-regulatory processes, in which people retrieve positive memories to repair negative moods. In Study 1, the authors investigated whether dysphoria influences the accessibility of autobiographical memories following a positive or a negative mood induction combined with subsequent rumination or distraction. The results showed a mood-repair effect for nondysphoric but not for dysphoric participants following rumination. In Study 2, participants were asked to either distract themselves or to recall positive autobiographical memories after a negative mood induction. Whereas nondysphoric participants' mood improved under both conditions, dysphoric participants' mood improved only after distraction. These results suggest that dysphoria is associated with a reduced ability to use mood-incongruent recall to repair sad moods. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Unraveling the influence of passive and active WeChat interactions on upward social comparison and negative psychological consequences among university students

Given the explosive prevalence of WeChat engagement and the inconsistent conclusions regarding the potential negative influence of social media usage on psychological consequences, the current research aims to offer a deeper comprehending of the interrelationships between distinct patterns of WeChat interactions, upward social comparison, depressed mood, and the fear of missing out among university students. The study utilizes data gathered from a web-based survey of 318 university students aged 18 to 29. Structural equation modeling demonstrates that passive WeChat interaction is associated with a greater level of upward social comparison, which is in turn related positively to self-perceived depressive mood and fearing of missing out. Additionally, active WeChat interaction negatively predicts university students’ upward social comparison. Nevertheless, the correlation between active WeChat interaction and depressive mood is not statistically significant. Overall, these obtained results could be beneficial to understanding of the psychologically powerful nature of WeChat and how novel technology-medated communication use could actually impact university students’ mental health in contemporary digitally driven society.     

Mood and personality-based models of substance use.

Mood and personality-based vulnerabilities have been extensively examined in patients with substance use disorders, but their relevance as models of etiology remains to be fully investigated. The present investigation examined mood and personality-based models of substance use in a nonclinical sample of young adults. Two-hundred and twelve individuals were assessed for personality and clinical characteristics and participated in computerized ambulatory monitoring of mood states and substance use over a 1-week period. Personality factors were strong predictors of substance use frequency over the previous 30 days, as well as of substance use in daily life using ambulatory monitoring. A linear increase was also observed in the intensity of novelty seeking and antisocial personality traits as a function of the social deviance of substances used. However, mood disorder history was related only to the use of illicit drugs other than cannabis, and fluctuations in mood states did not prospectively predict daily use of substances in a manner consistent with self-medication. Moreover, there was little evidence that personality characteristics moderated relations between mood states and substance use in daily life. The relevance of results for mood and personality models of substance use etiology is discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Emotion regulation and its effects on mood improvement in response to an in vivo peer rejection challenge.

This study examined children's spontaneous use of behavioral emotion regulation (ER) strategies and their effects on subsequent mood change in response to an in vivo peer rejection manipulation. Participants (N = 186), ranging between 10 and 13 years of age, played a computer game based on the television show Survivor and were randomized to either peer rejection (being voted out of the game) or nonrejection control. In response to rejection, more than one third of the participants (38%) displayed a marked worsening (i.e., reliable change) in state mood. After receiving feedback, time spent on several behavioral ER strategies during a 5-minute postfeedback period was assessed. At the end of the postfeedback period, children's cognitive activity was also assessed. More time spent on behavioral distraction was positively linked to subsequent increases in positive affect, whereas the reverse pattern was found for disengagement/passive behavior. Moreover, higher endorsement ratings for the strategy of "cognitive analysis" were associated with stronger increases in negative affect.

Family functioning in bipolar I disorder.

In a sample of 62 patients with Bipolar I disorder, the authors used a repeated measures longitudinal design to examine whether global family functioning was associated with the presence of a concurrent bipolar episode as well as whether global family functioning was associated with the presence of manic and depressive episodes in the following 3 months. Participants were recruited for a randomized clinical trial examining the efficacy of family treatments combined with pharmacotherapy for bipolar disorder. Global family functioning was repeatedly measured with both clinician-rated and patient-rated assessment instruments over the 28-month study period. Results indicated that mood episodes were associated with concurrent global family functioning within individuals, but global family functioning was not associated with episode status in the subsequent 3 months. The repeated measures nature of these results suggests that global family functioning and bipolar episodes may fluctuate in concert with each other but that global family functioning is not associated with subsequent change in episode status.

Social interaction moderates the relationship between depressive mood and heart rate variability: Evidence from an ambulatory monitoring study.

Objective: There is considerable evidence that depressive mood is related to lower parasympathetic control of the heart, thus increasing cardiovascular risk. However, little is known about social factors (e.g., social affiliation) that might moderate this relationship. Design: The authors examined whether cardiac autonomic control in healthy individuals with depressive symptoms could be altered by social interaction. Therefore, the authors conducted a 22-hr ambulatory monitoring study with a sample of 63 adults. Main Outcome Measures: Depression was assessed by questionnaire. Heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), physical activity, and negative affect were recorded throughout one day via portable monitoring devices. Results and Conclusion: Multilevel analyses revealed that depression was related to elevated negative affect and higher heart rate throughout the day. Moreover, there was a tendency toward lower HRV in individuals with higher depression scores. This association, however, was moderated by social context. When depressive participants were alone they evidenced lower HRV and higher negative affect, but not when they were engaged in social interactions with a partner, family members, or friends. These findings suggest that the relation between depression and cardiac autonomic control could be altered by social interaction, thus possibly buffering adverse health effects.
