“…State anxiety appeared to be a preparatory system which would result in more information-seeking behaviors while reading the informed consent form. For state depression, however, Orton, Beiman, LaPointe, and Lankford (1983 ) found that depression induction did not lead to a similar physiological arousal increase as found in state anxiety. This physiological arousal diff erence would be expected to result in diff erent behavioral and attention patterns.…”

Students (N = 183) participated in a study designed to determine if each student read the informed consent form. Approximately 12% of students in the online condition followed the procedure compared with 38% in the laboratory phase. Participants with higher trait worry and those with lower emotion reappraisal were more likely to follow the procedure, while women were more likely to read the form than men. Across conditions, most students do not read informed consent documents, particularly in online formats. These findings of this research support the idea that women tend to be more information-seeking than men in health and research settings and those with higher trait worry tend to read the consent forms to alleviate uncertainty and trust concerns.

“…A different group of 50 statements, ranked in previous research and ordered from least to most emotion-provok-ing, was used for each of the four emotion conditions: anxiety (eg, "I'm really feeling upset and nervous, this worries me"; "I feel all jittery; I want to run away; This is really getting to me." [62]), depression (eg, "I can remember times when everybody but me seemed full of energy"; "Just to stand up would take a big effort" [49]), elation (eg, "I feel enthusiastic and confident now"; "I'm feeling amazingly good today" [49]) and neutral (eg, "Oklahoma City is the largest city in the world in area, with 631.166 square miles"; "Slang is a constantly changing part of the language" [49]). The anxiety induction was successfully used in previous research (62), and all other conditions were previously used in the study by Zelman et al (49).…”

The effects of specific emotional states on a laboratory pain task were tested by examining the behavioural, verbal and psychophysiological responses of 80 student volunteers (50% female). Participants were assigned to one of four Velten-style emotion-induction conditions (ie, anxiety, depression, elation or neutral). The sexes of experimenters were counterbalanced. Overt escape behaviour (ie, pain tolerance), pain threshold and severity ratings, verbal reports of emotion and physiological measures (ie, electrocardiogram, corrugator and trapezium electromyogram) were recorded. A pressure pain task was given before and after the emotion induction. As predicted, those who participated in the anxiety or depression condition showed reduced pain tolerance after induction of these negative emotions; pain severity ratings became most pronounced in the depression condition. Emotion induction did not have a discernable effect on pain tolerance or severity ratings in the elation condition. A pattern of participant and experimenter sex effects, as well as trials effects, was seen in the physiological data. The influence of negative affective states (ie, anxiety and depression) on acute pain are discussed along with the unique contributions of behavioural, verbal and physiological response systems in understanding the interactions of pain and emotions.

“…Mood induction has been investigated by various methods; the self-statement method of Velten (1968) used by Teasdale & Russell (1983) showed that reading 12 self-referent mood statements along with the instructions to feel the mood suggested by the statement was sufficient to induce depressed and elated moods. Orton, Beiman, La Pointe & Lankford (1983) also found that reading statements such as 'What if I lose control of my feelings?' or 'I'm feeling more and more jittery', was successful in inducing anxious mood.…”

Emotional distress as a mediator of the relationship between pain and disability: An experimental study

In people with chronic pain, disability is only partially explained by pain levels and emotional distress has been postulated to moderate the relationship between pain and disability in these and in other individuals. This paper reports an experimental investigation of this hypothesis with patients attending a clinical psychology department with chronic pain problems. Sections of the normal clinical interview which increased anxiety (asking about upsetting events) or reduced anxiety (asking about good events) were identified and standardized to give a naturally occurring mood induction technique. Twenty‐five patients were randomly allocated to receive the anxiety increasing section of the interview as part of the experimental procedure and 25 to receive the anxiety reducing section. Both groups received the other section later in the interview. Patients were assessed before and after the experimental procedure and results demonstrated that the mood induction procedures had produced the expected effects on mood and the resulting predicted effects on disability. Experimental mood enhancement was associated with reduced levels of disability assessed by a lifting task, while mood depression resulted in greater disability. These findings strengthen the results from correlational studies and suggest methods of minimizing disability, at least in the short term.
