On the relation between ratings of the emotional state and expressive variables of gesture and verbal activities in old-aged people.

Methods to assess emotional reactions in old-aged people are predominantly confined to physiological or biochemical variables. In an experiment the authors examined whether variables of gesture and verbal activity are indicators of emotional states. Ninety-six old-aged women took part in the experiment which had two experimental and two control conditions. Subjective variables, physiological variables, and variables of expression were assessed. The results show that emotional reactions are expressed in variables of verbal activity but not in variables of gesture.

Comparison of the emotional effects of a beta-adrenergic blocking agent and a tranquilizer under different situational conditions. I. Anxiety-arousing situations.

This study investigated the emotional effects of the beta-adrenergic blocking agent oxprenolol (40 mg, p.o.) and the tranquilizing agent diazepam (5 mg, p.o.) in healthy subjects under three situational conditions: an emotionally neutral control situation and two situations designed to arouse different levels of anxiety. Both oxprenolol and diazepam induced positive emotional changes only in the more strongly anxiety-arousing situation. Significant differences between oxprenolol and diazepam in inducing emotional stabilization were not demonstrable.
