具身情绪:视觉图片的证据

Embodying Emotion:Evidences from Visual Photos

根据具身认知理论,与情绪表达密切相关的身体动作的控制会影响个体对情绪的感知、理解和加工。本研究采用咬笔实验来探索对视觉图片的情绪理解的具身性。以视觉图片为情绪启动的刺激材料,用"牙齿咬笔"和"嘴唇咬笔"两种方式控制被试面孔动作。实验结果显示,面孔动作控制方式的主效应非常显著,F(1,30)=25.842,P<0.001;图片的效价判断的主效应也非常显著,F(1,30)=5.470,P<0.05;视觉图片的情绪效价判断和面孔动作控制的交互作用显著,F(1,30)=4.954,P<0.05。研究表明,视觉图片的加工能够有效地通过身体动作的改变,影响其情绪信息的加工;面孔动作控制会影响视觉图片的情绪信息理解,即视觉图片性概念存在情绪具身性。

According to the embodied cognition theory,body postures related to emotion affect individual＇s perception,understanding,and processing of emotion.In the current study,we probed the embodying emotion of visual photos through holding pencil in the mouth.Results in experiment showed,the main effect of facial action control was significant,F（1,30）=25.842,P0.001.There was a significant main effect in valence decisions of photos,F（1,30）=5.470,P0.05.The interaction between valence decision of photos and facial action control was significant,F（1,30）=4.954,P0.05.Therefore,visual photos processing could affect its emotion information processing through body or action.Facial action control could affect emotion understanding.Namely,visual photos concepts had embodying emotion.
