啮齿类动物情绪传染的研究进展

Research progress on rodent emotional contagion

人类可以模仿他人行为并产生相同的情感体验,这一现象被称为情绪传染。作为医学研究中常用的实验动物,啮齿类动物(主要为大鼠和小鼠)同样存在情绪传染现象,并与恐惧、焦虑、抑郁等负面情绪有关。为了进一步了解动物间不同情绪的传播过程,本文将情绪传染的定义和过程、影响因素、主要类型及其生理学机制进行综述,以期为后续研究提供参考。

Humans can mimic the behavior of others and produce the same emotional experiences,a phenomenon known as emotional contagion.Rodents(mainly rats and mice)are commonly used as experimental animals in medical research.These animals can also suffer from emotional contagion associated with negative emotions such as fear,anxiety,and depression.To further understand the process of the transmission of different emotions among animals,we review the definition and process of emotional contagion,as well as the influencing factors and the main types and their physiological mechanisms,to provide a reference for subsequent studies.
