集体仪式促进群体情绪感染的机制

The mechanism of collective ritual promoting group emotional contagion

近年来,诸多学者将研究视角投向群体情绪感染,即群体内部成员间的情绪感染交互过程。群体情绪感染不仅包括个体间的直接情绪感染,而且受到群体认同、共同行为以及集体规则等多方面因素的影响。基于集体仪式的过程框架,分析集体仪式的三要素即同步动作、共享注意和共享意义与群体情绪感染的关系,能更清楚阐述群体情绪感染的发生与增强过程:集体仪式通过自我定型和自我锚定增强群体认同,在认同基础上的身份融合促进个体关注群体身份,导致个体的自我表征发生转化,社会自我的突出使其更容易接受群体的观点和情感表达,最终增强了群体情绪感染。未来研究应进一步考察群体情绪感染的影响因素并丰富其测量方法。

Recently,more and more scholars in emotional contagion have focused their research on group emotional contagion,i.e.,the interaction process of emotional contagion among members of a group.Group emotional contagion includes not only emotional contagions between two individuals,but also is influenced by many factors such as group identity,shared behavior and collective rules.To better understand the occurrence and enhancement mechanism of group emotional contagion,this review analyzed the relationship between the three elements of collective ritual,namely synchronous behavior,shared attention and shared meaning,and group emotional contagion.Also we summarized the mechanism:collective ritual enhanced group identity and further lead to individual transformation of self-representation.Finally,it enhanced the group emotional contagion.Future research should further investigate the influencing factors of group emotional contagion and enrich its measurement methods.
