道德情绪在道德隐喻映射中的作用及其神经机制

The effect of moral emotions on the metaphorical mapping of morality and its neural mechanism

道德隐喻的加工,实质上是从始源域的身体感知觉经验映射到目标域,表征抽象道德概念的过程。新近研究从认知神经科学角度揭示道德隐喻加工的神经机制,进而探讨情绪因素在道德隐喻映射中的作用。道德隐喻映射机制是在具体道德情境中身体感知经验与情绪体验、认知加工相互作用的结果。未来研究应拓展道德隐喻映射的维度和方向,在社会交互环境中丰富和完善研究范式,提高生态效度和跨文化效度。

The processing of moral metaphors is essentially a dynamic process of mapping a concrete source domain with sensorimotor experience to an abstract target domain and representing abstract moral concepts. And it should also be regarded as a result of interactive activity amid physical experience and moral emotions. Researches on the neural mechanism of moral metaphors showed that physical and emotional experience influence the processing of moral metaphors, and discussed the effects of moral emotions on the metaphorical mapping of morality. Future researches should enrich the range of subject and directions of mapping, and improve the ecological validity and cross-cultural validity by modifying the experimental paradigms in social interactions.
