美国心理学家霍特举过一个例子:“有一天,友人弗雷德感到意气消沉。他通常应付情绪低落的办法是避不见人,直到这种心情消散为止。但这天他要和上司举行重要会议,所以决定装出一副快乐的表情。他在会议上笑容可掬,谈笑风生,装成心情愉快而又和蔼可亲的样子。令他惊奇的是,不久他发现自己果真不再抑郁不振了。”弗雷德并不知道,他无意中采用了心理学研究方面的一项重要新原则:装着有某种心情,往往能帮助他们真的获得这种感受——在 An example is given by the American psychologist Horter: “One day, friend Fred felt depressed, and he usually dealt with the depression until it disappeared, but on this day he wanted to work with his boss Held an important meeting, so she decided to put on a happy expression.He had a pleasant smile at the meeting, laughing and amusing, amiable and kind.He was surprised that soon he found himself really no longer depressing . ”Fred did not know that he inadvertently embraced a major new principle in psychology research: Having a certain mood in place often helps them really feel that way
