against getting ill, new study findings suggest.
In an experiment that
healthy volunteers to a cold or flu virus, researchers found that people with a
sunny characteristic were less likely to
ill. The findings, published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, build on evidence that a “positive emotional style” can help
the common cold and other illnesses.
Researchers believe the reasons may be both objective as in happiness increasing immune(免疫的) function and subjective as in happy people being less
by a scratchy throat or runny nose. “People with a positive emotional style may have different immune
to the virus,” explained the lead study author Dr Sheldon Cohen of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. “And when they do get a cold, they may
their illness as being less severe.”
Cohen and his colleagues had found in a
study that happier people seemed less likely to catch a cold, but some questions remained as to whether the emotional tendency itself had the effect.
For the new study, the researchers had 193 healthy adults with complete standard measures of personality tendency, health-consciousness and emotional “style”. Those who
be happy, energetic and easy-going were judged as having a positive emotional style,
those who were often unhappy, tense and unfriendly had a negative style. The researchers gave them drops through their noses
either a cold virus or a particular flu virus. Over the next six days, the
reported on any aches, pains, sneezing they had, while the researchers collected
data, like daily mucus(黏液) production. Cohen and his colleagues found that based on objective measures of nasal woes(鼻部的不适), happy people were less likely to develop a cold.
