摘要

Recently, bodily sensation mapping has been used to identify patterns in the physical sensations elicited by emotions. In addition, it is important to add a temporal aspect to deepen the interoceptive study of emotions. The present study sought to explore the first perceived sensation. The study sample included 34 mindfulness practitioners and 64 non-practitioners to analyze any differences in their perceptions of emotion. Participants were instructed to evoke five basic emotions (fear, disgust, anger, sadness, joy), and as soon as they became aware of where they felt the emotions start to emerge, were instructed to interrupt the observation and to indicate the region in a diagram of a human figure. Overall, the groups did not differ in the body regions identified for each emotion. Regarding emotions, Cochran’s Q test revealed a significant difference in the distributions of regions within each emotion. Pairwise comparisons showed that the main regions mentioned across emotions were the head and the chest. For fear, only the chest was cited, while for disgust, the neck/throat and the lower part of the head were most frequently mentioned. These regions differed significantly from other regions, with statistical significance levels varying some with p < 0.05, others with p < 0.005, and some with p < 0.001. These findings align with studies on body sensation maps of emotions, where these regions correspond to those perceived with the greatest increase in activity. These regions may be crucial points for intervention during the course of an emotion.
