Abstract

This is a preliminary report of an investigation concerning the relation of emotion to the individual history of normal persons in regard to disease. Only the emotions of anger and fear have been studied thus far. The data are, as yet, of low consistency. The main relation revealed is that individuals who have had disease show a somewhat more intense emotional reaction than those who have not. Hypotheses are suggested to explain this relation.
