原标题：英文外刊，研究表明，步伐轻快可影响精神状态

A good mood may put a spring in your step.

好心情会让你的步伐轻快。

But the opposite can work too: purposefully putting a spring in your step can improve your mood.

但相反的方法也奏效:有意识地使步伐轻快可以改善你的心情。

That's the finding from a study in the Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry.

这是《行为疗法与实验精神病学》杂志的一项研究得出的结论。

Scientists showed volunteers a list of negative and positive words, like afraid and anxious, or sunny and pretty.

科学家向志愿者们展示了一组消极词汇和积极词汇，比如“害怕”和“焦虑”，“开朗”和“漂亮”。

Then the subjects had to walk on a treadmill while watching a gauge that moved left or right.

然后，受试者必须在跑步机上行走，同时观看一个向左或向右移动的测量仪。

But here' s what the participants did not know: if their stance--for example, slumped shoulders- seemed to indicate a down mood the gauge moved to the left.

但是，这些受试者不知道的是:如果他们的姿势一比如耷拉着肩膀--似乎表明情绪低落，测量仪就会向左移动。

If their walk was more upbeat, say with swinging arms, the gauge moved to the right.

如果他们的步伐轻快，比如挥动手臂，测量仪就会向右移动。

The scientists asked half the subjects to adjust their walking style until the gauge moved to the right, and the other half so that the gauge went the left.

科学家要求一半的受试者调整自己的行走方式，直至测量仪移至右边，另-半受试者的测量仪则移至左边。

Each group quickly learned what adjustments moved the gauge in the desired direction.

很快，每一组受试者就知道调整成何种姿势能使测量仪朝着目的方向移动。

Then the subjects had to write down as many words from the list that they remembered.

然后，受试者需尽可能多地写下他们记得的单词。

And those who walked with a depressed gait recalled more negative terms, while the ones who were asked to walk in a more upbeat style came up with many more positive words.

步态低沉的人回忆起更多消极词汇，而步态轻快的人回忆起更多积极词汇。

Past research has shown that depressed people tend to remember negative words and happier people tend to remember happy words.

过去的研究表明，抑郁的人倾向于记住消极词语，而开心的人倾向于记住快乐的词语。
