温度知觉与信任:有限的具身效应

On Temperature Cognition and Trust:Based on Embodied Cognitive Perspective

信任不是单维的结构,它同时包括"信任他人"和"值得信任"等多个成分.基于具身认知理论,采用信任游戏范式,考察温度知觉对信任的影响,结果发现:在"信任他人"上,冷处理组显著低于暖处理组和控制组,暖处理组和控制组差异无统计学意义;在"值得信任"上,冷处理组和暖处理组差异无统计学意义.也就是说,寒冷知觉显著降低人们对他人的信任,但温暖知觉对"信任他人"的影响不显著,并且温度知觉不影响"值得信任".

Previous work has revealed that physical temperature has an effect on trust behaviors.As trust includes＂trust others＂and ＂trustworthiness＂,and is a cultural-embedding phenomenon.The present study aims to testing such effect among Chinese participants.Upon arrival,participants briefly touched either a cold or warm cup,and then played an economic trust game.Our results indicate that participants primed with cold invested less money to an anonymous companion as compared to those in the warm condition and neutral condition,and those primed with warm was quite similar to those in the neutral condition.In addition,the effect of temperature on the amount of returns was not significant between different conditions.We conclude that cold cognition can reduce people＇s interpersonal trust,but warm cognition has no effect on it,and there is no link between temperature cognition and people＇s trustworthiness.
