Abstract:
Although prior research has implied that emotional contagion occurs automatically and unconsciously, convincing evidence suggests that it is significantly influenced by individuals\' perceptions of their relationships with others or with collectives within specific social contexts. This implies a role for self-representation in the process. The present study aimed to offer a novel explanation of the interplay between social contexts and emotional contagion, focusing on the contextualized nature of self-representation and exploring the social factors that shape emotional contagion. It further posits a causal loop among social contexts, self-representation, and emotional contagion. Drawing from the lens of self-representation, this study concludes with a discussion on potential research directions in this field, commencing with an exploration of the antecedents and consequences of emotional contagion and self-representation.
摘要:
尽管先前的研究暗示情绪传染会自动和无意识地发生,令人信服的证据表明,在特定的社会环境中,它受到个人对与他人或集体关系的看法的显著影响。这意味着在这个过程中自我代表的作用。本研究旨在为社会背景和情绪传染之间的相互作用提供一种新颖的解释,关注自我表征的情境化性质,探索塑造情绪传染的社会因素。它进一步提出了社会环境之间的因果循环,自我代表,和情绪传染。从自我表征的角度出发,本研究最后讨论了该领域的潜在研究方向,首先探索情感传染和自我表征的前因后果。
