物理温度向社会情感的隐喻映射:作用机制及其解释

The Metaphorical Mapping of Social Affection on Temperature: Action Mechanisms and Its Explanation

基于概念隐喻理论的视角,大量行为与神经层面上的研究都揭示了温度与社会情感之间的隐喻关联有着更深层次的心理意义。"隐喻一致性效应"与"隐喻补偿效应"被用来阐述温度-社会情感隐喻的作用机制。而个体早期经验的不断"架构"构成了对这一隐喻形成的解释。此外,神经层面的研究也发现,脑岛可能是物理温度向社会情感隐喻映射的神经基础。未来的研究需从完善研究方法、深化作用机制、从发展的角度探索形成机制的研究以及注重温度-社会情感隐喻研究的应用拓展等几个方面着手。

Based on the perspective of conceptual metaphor theory, several recent empirical studies have suggested that there is a deeper psychological significance to the connection between temperature and social affection. Metaphor consistency effects and metaphor compensation effects are used to illustrate its mechanism. And this temperature-social affection metaphor is grounded on the early experience of the social world, and developed through scaffolding processes. In addition, the insula may be a key shared neural substrate that mediates the influence of temperature on social affection processes. Future researches on temperature-social affection metaphor should focus on the following aspects, such as improving the experimental paradigm of this metaphor, deepening our understanding of its action mechanisms, exploring the formation mechanisms from the perspective of development and at last carrying out the application work of temperature-social affection metaphor.
