社会距离和情绪效价对具身模拟的影响机制研究

The Effect of Social Distance and Emotional Valence on Embodied Simulation

以40名大学生为被试,通过控制对象和自我的社会距离(内群/外群)及人际情绪的效价(积极/消极)考察对象-自我关系对他心理解中具身模拟强度的影响规律。结果表明:(1)社会距离的主效应显著,社会距离越近,具身模拟的强度越高;(2)情绪效价的主效应显著,自我对客体的情绪知觉越积极,具身模拟的强度越高;(3)社会距离和情绪效价的交互作用显示,自我对客体具有积极的情绪知觉时,社会距离越近,具身模拟程度越强,自我对客体具有消极的情绪知觉时,社会距离对具身模拟程度没有显著影响。该结果表明,情绪效价和社会距离对具身模拟的影响可能存在层次性,即个体首先依据情绪线索再依据认知线索调整其具身模拟的强度。

This study,by manipulating social distance cues（in-group/out-group） and emotional valence（positive/negative） between objects and 40 participants（college students）,aims to explore the effect of object-self relation on embodied simulation in mind-reading.The results show the following：（1） social distance has a significant main effect in that a close social distance triggers intense embodied simulation;（2） emotional valence has a significant main effect in that a positive emotional perception imposed on the object by an individual causes intense embodied simulation;（3） according to the interaction between social distance and emotional valence,a positive emotional perception imposed on the object by an individual results in a close social distance and intense embodied simulation,but when there is a negative emotional perception imposed on the object by an individual,social distance has no effect on embodied simulation.The results indicate that emotional valence and social distance have effects at different levels on embodied simulation;that is,an individual manipulates his or her embodied simulation according to emotional cues,followed by cognitive cues.
