This research involves a large longitudinal study of emotion in interactions within married couples.

这项研究需要对夫妻互动时的情绪进行庞大的纵向研究。

Scientists get couples into the lab and looking at their stress levels while they have “difficult” conversations, finding that couples that deal with stress with positive emotions like laughter become less stressed, and tend to stay together for longer.

科学家们让夫妻进入实验室，在他们开始“别扭”对话时观察他们的压力水平。研究发现，面对压力时，用大笑等积极情绪缓解压力的夫妻在一起的时间往往更久。

This year they looked at the use of negative strategies such as anger or stonewalling responses to conflict, and found that these predicted health-related changes over time in specific ways.

今年，科学家们研究了对冲突表现出愤怒、拖延的消极策略，他们发现，久而久之这些反应会以某些特定方式预示与健康相关的变化。

The use of anger predicted cardiovascular problems, and "stonewalling" musculoskeletal problems such as bad backs. Most strikingly, these physical effects were not there at the start of the study, but developed over 20 years.

发怒预示了心血管问题，“拖延”预示了背痛等肌肉骨骼问题。最不可思议的是，开始研究时这些生理反应并不存在，却在这20年间显露出来。
