身体姿势对亲社会行为意愿的影响:助人便利性的中介作用

The Effect of Body Posture on Willingness to Prosocial Behavior:The Mediating Role of Helping Convenience

基于具身认知理论,本研究探究不同身体姿势对亲社会行为意愿的影响及其内部机制。实验1让研究对象调整好身体姿势并保持一分钟后,回答助人行为意愿问题。实验2让不同身体姿势研究对象对亲社会词语和非亲社会词语进行按键反应,探究身体姿势与亲社会词语的内隐联结。实验3考察身体姿势对捐助行为意愿的影响及其内部机制。三个研究结果一致表明,与盘腿坐姿相比,直立站姿使个体倾向于表现出更高的亲社会行为意愿,与亲社会词语有更强的内隐联结,同时助人便利性在其中起着中介作用。本研究揭示了身体姿势对亲社会行为意愿的影响及其内部机制,丰富了具身认知领域的研究。

Based on embodied cognition theory,this study explores the influence of different body postures on prosocial behavior and its underlying mechanism.Experiment 1 asked the participants to adjust their body posture and hold it for one minute before answering the question of willingness to help others.In experiment 2,participants with different body postures were asked to keystroke prosocial vocabularies and non-prosocial vocabularies to explore the implicit connection between body postures and prosocial vocabularies.In experiment 3,the influence of body postures on donation behavior and its underlying mechanism were investigated.The results of the three studies showed that compared with cross-legged sitting,participants with the upright posture tend to show a higher intention of prosocial behavior and a stronger implicit association with prosocial vocabulary,and helping convenience played a mediating role.This study reveals the influence of body posture on prosocial behavior and its underlying mechanism,which enriches the research in the field of embodied cognition.
