The existence of negative thinking is a major threat to mental and physical health,and breathing relaxation training can relax the body through certain fixed programs,and can achieve psychological relaxation.In this study,the effect of respiratory relaxation training on negative thinking was studied by laboratory experiments.To be specific,the study used the respiratory relaxation experience questionnaire to screen out the T score of the respiratory relaxation level more than 60 points as the high breathing relaxation group,and the T score was less than 40 scores as the low breathing relaxation group,and the subjects with the T score between 40-60 points were selected as the control group to conduct the intervention study and experimental study.Based on the above study,the main conclusions are as follows:(1)The results of the intervention study showed that at the level of respiratory relaxation,whether the relaxation level was measured by the respiratory relaxation experiences questionnaire or the relaxation scales,there was significant difference in the pre and post test of the high breathing relaxation level group and the low breathing relaxation group.The post test was significantly higher than the pre test,and there was no significant difference between the pre and post test of the control group.This indicates that breathing relaxation training can significantly improve high and low level groups' relaxation level.(2)In the level of ruminant thinking and negative automatic thinking,there was significant difference in the pre and post test of the high breathing relaxation level group and the low breathing relaxation group,and the post test was significantly smaller than the previous test,and the difference was not significant in the control group.This shows that breathing relaxation training can significantly reduce the level of ruminant thinking and negative automatic thinking,that is to say,breathing relaxation training is effective for the intervention of ruminant thinking and negative automatic thinking.(3)On the total score and dimensions of the relaxation level of the respiratory relaxation experience questionnaire,the average values of the difference values of pre and post test of the low level group were significantly higher than those in the control group and high level group,but only on the total score of the relaxation level,the average value of the difference values of pre and post test of the high level group was significantly higher than that of the control group.In all the dimensions,there were no significant differences in the average values of the difference values of pre and post test between the high level group and the control group.On the various dimensions of the relaxation scale,the average scores of the difference values of pre and post test in both the high and low level groups were significantly higher than those in the control group,but only on the cognitive stress and the body assessment dimension,the average score of the difference values of pre and post test in the low level group was significantly higher than that in the high level group.In the physiological tension dimension,the average score of the difference values of pre and post test between the high level and low level group was not significantly different.Generally speaking,the effect of breathing relaxation training on improving the level of relaxation is better in the low level group than in the high level group.(4)In the level of ruminant thinking and negative automatic thinking,the average score of the difference values of pre and post test between the high level group and the low level group was significantly different,and the low level group reduced the ruminant thinking and the negative automatic thinking level more than the high level group.The average score of the difference values of pre and post test in both the high and low level groups was significantly different from that of the control group.The decreasing of ruminant thinking and negative automatic thinking level in the high and low level groups were significantly higher than those in the control group.This indicates that the effect of breathing relaxation training on the reduction of ruminant thinking and negative automatic thinking level in low level group is significantly better than that of the high level group.(5)The results of rumination experiment showed that after the breathing relaxation training,the rate of recollection of positive words on the memory vocabulary and forgetting vocabulary was increased in the high and low level group,and the recollection rate of negative vocabulary on the forgetting vocabulary was significantly reduced in the low level group.(6)In the high level group and the low level group,the pretest recollection rate of the positive vocabulary was significantly smaller than the post test on the memory and forgetting vocabulary,and the negative vocabulary recollection rate of the post test was significantly lower than the previous test on the forgetting vocabulary in the low level group.In the control group,there was no significant difference in recollection rate between positive and negative words in memory and forgetting vocabulary.This shows that breathing relaxation training helps the subjects to reduce ruminant thinking.Breathing relaxation training can relax people,increase positive emotions and reduce negative emotions.It is the embodiment of breathing relaxation training to reduce ruminant thinking.(7)In memory and forgetting vocabulary,the recollection rate of negative words is significantly less than that of positive words.Inpositive and negative words,the recollection rate of forgetting vocabulary is significantly less than that of memory words.This indicates that breathing relaxation training can help subjects perform forgetting operation and reduce ruminant thinking.(8)The average recollection rate of the difference values of pre and post test of positive words in the high level group was significantly higher than that in the control group on the memory and forgetting vocabulary.The average recollection rate of the difference values of pre and post test of positive words in the low level group was significantly higher than that of the control group on the memory vocabulary.And the decrease of the recollection rate of negative words on the forgetting vocabulary in the low level group was significantly higher than that of the control group.The average recollection rate of the difference values of pre and post test of negative words in the high and low level groups was significantly different in the forgetting vocabulary.The low level group significantly reduced the recollection rate of negative words on the forgetting vocabulary,that is,the effect of respiratory relaxation training on the low level group of negative words' recollection is better than that of the high level group,which indicates the breathing relaxation training could help to suppress negative stimuli and reduce ruminant thinking.(9)Dot probe experiment showed that breathing relaxation training can increase positive bias.After breathing relaxation training,the positive attention bias scores of the subjects in the low breathing relaxation level group increased significantly,but the negative attention bias scores did not change significantly.The positive attention bias scores of pre test in the high level group were very high,but there was no significant change in the latter.(10)Stroop experimental results showed that in the condition of consistency and inconsistency,the post test of high and low level group was significantly lower than that of the pretest.In the control group,there was no significant difference between the pre and post test under the condition of consistency and inconsistency.This indicated that after the breathing relaxation training,the level of the high and low breathing relaxation groups improved the level of the Stroop task under the condition of consistency and inconsistency,and the respiratory relaxation training played an anti automatic role.(11)The mean value of the difference value of pre and post test in the low level group was significantly different from that of the control group under the condition of consistency and inconsistency.However,there was no significant difference in the difference value between the pre and post measurements in the high level group and the low level group and the control group.Therefore,the effect of breathing relaxation training on improving the level of Stroop task response in low level group is better than that in high level group.
