物理温暖促进人际温暖?汉语语境下的不同结果

Experiencing Physical Warmth Promotes Interpersonal Warmth?Different Result in Chinese Context

英语语境下的实验研究表明,个体对物理温暖的触摸能够直接促进其人际温暖(利他行为)倾向。本实验采用49名中国女性被试,采用表面任务结合现场实验的方法对物理温暖与人际温暖之间的具身联系进行重新检验。自变量为冷-热垫的温度,因变量为被赋予利他-利己意义的礼物选择。结果表明,对物理温暖的触摸不能引发中国被试的人际温暖行为倾向。中英语境差异可能是影响这种具身效应存在性的重要因素。

The experiment in a paper by L E. Williams and John A. Bargh （2008, Science）showed that the reason wily warm-cold dimension is so important inimpression formation exists in tile embodied connec- tion between physical warmth and interpersonal warmth： mere physical warmth directly promoted in- terpersonal warmth. The subjects were all Americans. In this study, focty-nine Chinese female subjects par- ticipated in a 2 by 2 between-participants design to repeat Williams＇s experiment. There occurred differ- ent result： compared with the people touching the cold pad, there was no obvious increase on the altruistic tendency in the ones who touched hot pad. That sug- gested embodied connection between physical warmth and interpersonal warmth in Chinese context does not exist.
