Writing or talking about upsetting emotional experiences is associated with improvements m mental and physical health, including lower rates of depressive symptoms, adjustment difficulties, and well as common illnesses and physical symptoms. The goal of this project is to explore the social, physiological, and personality correlates of this phenomenon. Over the five year proposed grant period, the four issues will be addressed: 1. Defining and measuring social integration and coherence using a recording device that measures real-world language and social behaviors. In developing a social integration model, the components to be measured include time talking in-depth with others, more concentrated time on task, greater correspondent between speaker and listener, and changes in linguistic content congruent with markers of physical and mental health - with particular attention to markers of stress, depression, and psychological adjustment. 2. Learning how writing about an emotional experience increases levels of social integration and coherence compared with writing about control topics. This model will be tested with healthy college students, medical students facing their first dissections, and stressed city employees. In addition to changes in social behaviors, the various studies will examine changes in depression, cortisol levels, and autonomic nervous system activity before and after writing. 3. Identifying individual differences to learn who is most likely to benefit from disclosive writing. The first lab study will determine if individuals who are most likely to benefit from emotional writing are the same individuals who are least likely to benefit from superficial writing. A second study will learn who benefits from writing by using a variety of questionnaires and tasks to identify those people who can best construct narratives and/or benefit independently from constructing narratives. A third project will determine the heritability of language usage by drawing on an archive of data from Mz and DZ twins raised together and apart. 4. Mapping how individuals talk, interact, and move about in the natural environment using the environmental monitor recording procedure. Once established, one or more studies will examine how individuals use their social resources when dealing with significant emotional upheavals in their worlds. Measures of physician use, autonomic functioning, and illness reports will serve as outcome measures and correlates in each of the studies.

编写或谈论沮丧的情绪经历与改善精神和身体健康有关，包括降低抑郁症状，调整困难以及常见疾病和身体症状。该项目的目的是探索这种现象的社会，生理和人格相关性。在五年提议的赠款期内，将解决这四个问题：1。使用衡量现实世界语言和社会行为的录音设备来定义和衡量社会融合和连贯性。在开发社会融合模型时，要衡量的组成部分包括与他人深入讨论的时间，更加集中的时间，在说话者和听众之间的通讯员更大，语言内容的变化与身心健康的标志一致 - 特别关注压力，抑郁，抑郁和心理调整。 2.学习关于情感体验的写作如何增加与控制主题相比的社会融合和连贯性的水平。该模型将与健康的大学生，面对第一本剖析的医学生和压力城市员工进行测试。除了社交行为的变化外，各种研究还将检查抑郁症，皮质醇水平和书写前后自主神经系统活动的变化。 3.确定个体差异以了解谁最有可能从披露写作中受益。第一项实验室研究将确定最有可能从情感写作中受益的个人是否与最不可能从肤浅写作中受益的人相同。第二项研究将通过使用各种问卷和任务来识别那些可以最能构建叙事和/或受益于独立于构建叙事的人，从而了解谁从写作中受益。第三个项目将通过绘制来自MZ和DZ双胞胎的数据档案来确定语言使用的遗传力。 4.映射个人如何使用环境监视器记录程序在自然环境中进行交谈，互动和移动。一旦建立，一项或多项研究将研究个人在处理世界上重大的情感动荡时如何使用社会资源。医师使用，自主功能和疾病报告的措施将作为每项研究的结果指标和相关性。
