Social Emotions in the Perspective of Social Mentality

社会情绪是社会心态具有动力倾向的核心要素,是一个群体和社会中多数成员共享的体验。社会心态研究范式包括微观、中观、宏观三个层次,因此,社会情绪也同样包含个体情绪、集体情绪和更为宏观的社会成员共有的情绪。社会情绪的构成以个体层面的核心情感、初级情绪和次级情绪为基础,同时包括社会层面的情感氛围。社会需要、期望和社会认知共同影响着社会情绪。社会情绪是社会转型和社会变迁的动力元素,它以情感能量来体现。由于追求情感能量最大化,情感能量成为社会运行的动力。社会互动中情感能量影响着社会运行,积极情感能量和消极情感能量分别导致社会团结和社会疏离。
