权力具身效应的影响因素及机制

Embodied Effects of Power:Influential Factors and the Mechanism

具身认知为人们解读"权力"提供了新的理论基础和方法论,但以往多数研究强调语言层面上权力的概念表征,较少关注权力的社会具身效应。本文通过梳理国内外权力具身认知研究的文献,从情境、文化因素、个体因素等方面分析权力具身效应的影响因素,并揭示身体经验影响权力认知和行为的心理机制和过程——模态启动。在此基础上进一步明确未来的研究方向,应从社会具身效应的作用机制、多重心理机制、权力具身效应的神经机制、应用研究等方面进行深入研究。

Embodied cognition provides a new theoretical basis and methodology for people to interpret ＂power＂. Recent work on power has focused on conceptual representation from the aspect of verbal language but somewhat paid less attention to the social embodied effects non verbally where comprehensive explanation on how bodily states influence power cognition and behavior is still missing. Here,we discuss three influence factors：context,culture and individual which make a difference to the association between bodily experience and power perception,judgment and behavior. We argue that a basic mental mechanism may mainly influence embodied cognition in power—— modal priming. Future research should focus on the mechanisms underlying the social embodied effects,the activation of multiple mental mechanisms,neural mechanisms underlying the embodied effects and further applied research.
