道德概念具身隐喻及其影响因素:来自元分析的证据

Embodied metaphors of moral concepts and its influential factors: A systematic review and meta-analysis

采用元分析技术探讨道德概念具身隐喻及其影响因素。通过文献检索和筛选,共有65篇文献153个独立样本符合元分析标准(N=8659)。元分析结果显示,道德概念具身隐喻的始源域与目标域存在中等程度正相关(r=0.34);调节效应检验表明,道德概念具身隐喻受文化背景和隐喻维度的影响,但不受隐喻映射方向、研究范式和感觉通道的影响。以上研究结果表明,道德概念具身隐喻具有心理现实性,并且受文化背景和隐喻维度的调节,具体而言,东方文化背景下个体的道德概念具身隐喻更强,道德概念与空间维度和大小维度的隐喻联结程度更高。

The meta-analysis was designed to explore the embodied metaphors of moral concepts and its influential factors. Through literature retrieval, 65 cases and 153 independent effect sizes which met the inclusion criteria of meta-analysis were selected (N = 8659). Overall, the results showed that there existed a moderate positive correlation between source domain of embodied metaphors of moral concepts with the target domain (r = 0.34). Embodied metaphors of moral concepts were moderated by cultural background and metaphorical dimension, but not by metaphorical mapping direction, research paradigm and sensory channel. The above results indicate that the embodied metaphors of moral concepts reflect psychological reality, and the following studies should focus on the different roles of cultural background and metaphorical dimension, specifically, the individual moral concept metaphor is stronger under the background of oriental culture, and the metaphorical connection between moral concepts and spatial dimension and dimension is higher.
