The research here was based on the previous research progress on positive emotion in the western psychology, firstly, we introduced Fredrickson's broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions and some experimental studies on this theory. The broaden-and-build theory of positive emotion considered that positive emotions could broaden people's momentary thought-action repertoires and build their enduring personal resources , ranging from physical and intellectual resources to social and psychological resources. It contained two primary parts: First, we investigated the impact of positive emotion and negative emotion on the results supposition of stressful events. The results showed that the number of the positive thinking of the positive emotion-evoked group was bigger than that of the negative emotion-evoked group, the number of the negative thinking of the negative emotion-evoked group was bigger than that of the positive emotion-evoked group. The performance on the results supposition in the positive emotion-evoked group was much better than that in the negative emotion-evoked group. Next, we investigated the impact of positive emotion and negative emotion , as well as the styles of coping on the health level .Firstly, explore positive emotion how to affect people's health, then study the effect of the coping style on the health. The results showed that the positive emotion a month later was the biggest influencing factor on the health, and the individual whose positive emotion increased along with time had better health. The people who were in the higher score group of the positive coping had higher positive emotion a month later, who had higher score in the escaping coping scale had higher negative emotion a month later. The positive coping and escaping coping both had significant effects on the health level.The results here sustained the previous hypotheses. The empirical results of this research could be served as a valuable material in this field for further exploration.
