This research analyzed the association between relational quality, the use of evolutionary meta-emotions (sadness, surprise, anger, and jealousy), imagined interaction (II) discrepancy, and measures of cardiovascular arousal as measured through heart rate and blood pressure. A meta-emotion interview was conducted with husbands and wives about their philosophies of communicating emotions. A series of hypotheses were tested. Wives would reveal that they communicated a wider variety of evolutionary emotions than husbands and relational quality would be associated with fewer II discrepancies. Finally, the expression of evolutionary emotions (surprise, sadness, jealousy, and anger) would be associated with higher cardiovascular arousal. We used latent growth curve modeling to test the effect of discussing the basic emotions on mean arterial pressure and heart rate. Results revealed partial support for various hypotheses. The findings are discussed in terms of prototypical emotion functions and the association with cardiovascular arousal.

元情绪，心血管唤醒和想象的互动差异之间的对应关系。

这项研究分析了关系质量，进化性元情感的使用（悲伤，惊奇，愤怒和嫉妒），想象的相互作用（II）差异以及通过心率和血压测量的心血管唤醒之间的关联。对丈夫和妻子进行了一次元情感采访，探讨了他们传达情感的哲学。测试了一系列假设。妻子会发现，与丈夫相比，她们传达的进化情感范围更广，关系质量与较少的II差异相关。最后，进化性情绪（惊讶，悲伤，嫉妒和愤怒）的表达将与更高的心血管唤醒有关。我们使用潜在生长曲线建模来测试讨论基本情绪对平均动脉压和心率的影响。结果揭示了对各种假设的部分支持。根据原型的情感功能以及与心血管唤醒的关系来讨论研究结果。
