关于自我独特性问题的研究

Research on the Uniqueness of Self

自我涉及的范围十分广泛,而自我表征的独特性一直备受研究者的关注。来自PET、ERP、fMRI的有关研究表明,与非自我信息相比,自我有关的信息加工在大脑右半球引起更多的激活,说明自我信息的加工存在一定的特异性。但对自我表征是否具有独特性,目前的研究结果并不一致,而且对自我表征独特性的本质及其标准也存在一定的分歧。采用多研究取向和多方法取向来研究和解释自我,有助于理解自我的本质及其神经机制。

There are many kinds of aspects of the self, which indicates that the self is complicated structure, while the distinctiveness of the representation of the self has been argued by researchers. The findings in many studies such as PET, ERP, fMRI indicate that the processing of the information relevant to self is more activated in right cerebral hemisphere than the information irrelevant to self. This suggests that the presentation of self is unique. Yet, is the self special or not？ To this question, the present studies have not come to the agreed answers. Furthermore, there are also disagreements on the nature and criteria of self representation. The researches and analysis of self from different perspectives and various approaches offer us better understandings of the nature and neuro-mechanism of self.
