Positive emotions may also influence physical health, however, their examination has received far less attention. Methods: Positive and depressive emotion ratings were examined as independent and joint predictors of survival in a sample of 866 cardiac catheterization patients. The mean follow-up was 11.4 years, during which 415 deaths occurred. The mean age of the sample was 60.3 years and 74.3% of the sample were males. Results: Both positive and depressive ratings were associated with survival (hazard ratio=0.80, 95% CI = 0.66-0.97, p < 0.025 and hazard ratio 1.32, 95% CI=1.13-1.54, p < 0.001, respectively), adjusted for risk factors. Positive emotion ratings were no longer significantly related to mortality when the two emotion measures were simultaneously included in a survival model. Conclusion: The current findings are consistent with a theory that suggests that the relation between positive emotion and mortality may be partly mediated by depressive emotion.
