Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of the present study was to examine influences of positive emotion on cardiovascular responses. We examined how positive emotion influenced cardiovascular responses to mental works. The results showed that the positive emotion state before mental task did significantly influenced cardiovascular responses. On the other hand, positive emotion inducement before mental works brought good influences on cardiovascular responses. The results of the present study suggested the possibility of using positive emotion inducement on stress management.
