模糊的边界：“社恐”的范畴化问题

Fuzzy Boundary: The Categorization of “SheKong”

摘要: “社恐”群体数量众多，人们对“社恐”的范畴化却不尽相同、未达本质。范畴化是人类思考、感知、行动及言语的基础，影响着我们对世界及自身的认知。不同人群基于自身的体验和已有的概念确定“社恐”的范畴，造就了“社恐”一词模糊的边界以及自认为“社恐”者真正体验的缺席。而“社恐”者曾经、现在及将来的遭遇并非一件应当被忽略的事情。问卷调查的结果表明自认为“社恐”者自身体验具有特殊性。文章试图说明澄清该特殊体验作为“社恐”范畴的真正所指的必要性与合理性，以及将其作为了解社交焦虑障碍的重要窗口的可能性。

Abstract: While there are several “SheKong” classifications, there are also numerous ways to categorize “SheKong”. Human perception, action, and speech are all founded on categorization, which influ-ences how we see the outside world and ourselves. The fuzziness of the term “SheKong”, as well as the absence of the embodied experiences of people who identify themselves as “SheKong” when talking about them, are due, in part, to the fact that different groups of people base the categorizations of “SheKong” on their experiences and pre-existing beliefs. It is thus critical to pay attention to what has happened, is happening, and will happen to the “SheKong”. The questionnaire data has revealed the uniqueness of self-identified SheKongs’ experience. The article seeks to clarify the need for, and reason for, recognizing this embodied experience as the genuine source of the categorization of “SheKong”, as well as to demonstrate the possibility of employing it as a key window into exploring the causes of social anxiety disorder.
