社会性高趋近积极情绪调节认知控制：对稳定性的增强作用

Social High Approach Motivational Positive Affects Modulate Cognitive Control: The Enhancement of Cognitive Retention

摘要: 已有研究考察了积极情绪趋近动机强度对认知控制的影响，证明高趋近积极情绪增强认知的保持性，低趋近积极情绪促进认知灵活性。以往的研究主要考察生理性高趋近动机的积极情绪(如：对食物的渴望)的作用，而社会依附性相关的高趋近积极情绪(如：对人脸笑容的亲近)对认知控制影响的研究较少，且相关研究结果不明确。因此本研究通过微笑的人物图片和美食图片分别诱发社会性和生理性趋近积极情绪，并记录被试在不同情绪条件下AX-连续操作任务(CPT)的成绩。结果显示生理性趋近积极情绪影响BX试次的错误率，而社会性趋近积极情绪影响AY试次的反应时。表明社会性高趋近积极情绪对认知控制的作用与生理性高趋近积极情绪的作用类似，两种情绪都增强了认知控制的保持性。

Abstract: Previous studies have examined the effect of positive emotional approach motivation on cognitive control, demonstrating that high approach positive affects increase cognitive retention, low approach positive affects promote cognitive flexibility. The previous researches mainly investigated the effects of physiological high approach motivational positive affect (such as: the desire for food), but the impacts of social attachment related high reaching positive affects (such as: tending to approach the smile face) on cognitive control had been examined rarely, and related research results is not clear. Therefore, this study induced social and physiological positive emotions by smiling characters pictures and food pictures, and recorded the subjects’ performances on AX-continuous performance task (CPT) under different affective conditions. The results showed that the physiological approach positive affects influenced the error rate of the BX trial, while the social approach positive affects influenced the reaction times of the AY trial. These demonstrated that the social high approach positive affects had similar effects on cognitive control with the physiological high approach positive affects. These two affects both enhanced the retention of cognitive control.
