El miedo, la tristeza, la ira y el asco son estados emocionales que, cuando son intensos y habituales, afectan negativamente la calidad de vida de las personas. En consecuencia, las emociones negativas constituyen actualmente uno de los principales factores de riesgo para contraer enfermedades físicas y mentales. Este artículo pretende, en primer lugar, delimitar los conceptos y las características principales de cada emoción; y segundo, sintetizar los hallazgos científicos que avalan la influencia de las emociones negativas clásicas en el proceso salud-enfermedad. Estos fenómenos psicofisiológicos se han asociado a las enfermedades mentales y físicas como variables influyentes en su inicio, desarrollo y mantenimiento. Por lo tanto, se revisan algunos de los vínculos entre las cuatro emociones negativas y los trastornos mentales. También, se repasan las evidencias que respaldan la influencia de las emociones negativas en el desarrollo de comportamientos de riesgo para la salud física. Por último, se describen algunos datos que apoyan el impacto de la activación psicofisiológica emocional en los sistemas orgánicos, como la inmunidad, los procesos tumorales, etcétera.
Fear, sadness, anger and disgust are considered affective states, that when they become frequent and intense, adversely affect the quality of life. Consequently, negative emotions are regarded as one of the key risk factors in physical and mental illness. Firstly, this article aims to define precisely concepts and key features of each emotion. The second objective of this paper is to show a synthesis of scientific findings supporting the influence of emotional factors, especially classic negative emotions in the process of health and disease. These psychophysiological phenomena have been associated with mental and physical illness as influencing variables in its initiation, development and maintenance. Therefore, the paper reviews some of the links between these four negative emotions and mental disorders. It also reviews the evidence supporting the influence of negative emotions in the development of risk behaviors to physical health. Finally, we describe some data supporting the impact of psychophysiological activation of emotions in organic systems, such as, for instance, immunity, tumor processes and so on
