Metacognitive abilities are considered as a hallmark of advanced human cognition. Existing empirical studies have exclusively focused on populations from Western and industrialized societies. Little is known about young children’s metacognitive abilities in other societal and cultural contexts. Here we tested 4-year-old Yucatec Mayan (a rural native population from Mexico) by adopting a metacognitive task in which children’s explicit assessment of their own knowledge states about the hidden content of a container and their informing judgments (whether or not to inform an ignorant person about the hidden contents of a container) were assessed. Similar to previous studies, we found that Yucatec Mayan children overestimated their knowledge states in the explicit metacognitive task. However, in contrast with studies on Western children, we did not find the facilitating effect of the implicit informing task over the explicit task. These findings suggest that the early development of metacognition combines universal and culture-sensitive features.
元认知能力被认为是人类高级认知的标志。现有的实证研究只关注西方和工业化社会的人口。人们对幼儿在其他社会和文化背景下的元认知能力知之甚少。在这里,我们通过采用元认知任务对4岁的尤卡特玛雅人(来自墨西哥的农村原住民)进行了测试,在该任务中,评估了儿童对自己关于容器隐藏内容的知识状态的明确评估,以及他们的告知判断(是否告知无知的人容器隐藏内容)。与之前的研究类似,我们发现尤卡特-玛雅儿童在外显元认知任务中高估了他们的知识状态。然而,与西方儿童的研究相比,我们没有发现内隐告知任务对外显任务的促进作用。这些发现表明,元认知的早期发展结合了普遍性和文化敏感性特征。

This study examined the relationships among moral foundations, political ideology, and controversial social issues in an Asian culture. The study sample included 835 participants who completed a moral foundations questionnaire and three questions regarding attitudes toward social issues (i.e. nuclear power usage, the death penalty, and euthanasia), and a political ideology questionnaire. Results indicated that binding foundations (i.e. Ingroup, Authority, and Purity) were associated conservative tendencies, and individualizing foundations (i.e. Harm and Fairness) were associated liberal tendencies. Also, participants who scored higher on Authority showed higher approval of the death penalty, and those scored higher on Purity showed lower approval of the euthanasia. These results may provide a better understanding of the underlying differences for variations in opinions on social issues. Results also have implications for cultural differences in the associations among political ideology, social issues, and moral foundations.
这项研究考察了亚洲文化中道德基础、政治意识形态和有争议的社会问题之间的关系。该研究样本包括835名参与者,他们完成了一份道德基础问卷和三个关于对社会问题(即核能使用、死刑和安乐死)态度的问题,以及一份政治意识形态问卷。结果表明,约束性基础(即Ingroup、Authority和Purity)与保守倾向有关,个性化基础(即Harm和Fairness)与自由倾向有关。此外,权威评分较高的参和者对死刑的认可度较高,纯洁评分较高的受试者对安乐死的认可度较低。这些结果可能会更好地理解社会问题上意见差异的潜在差异。研究结果也对政治意识形态、社会问题和道德基础之间的文化差异产生了影响。

Rethinking Religious Cognition and Myth: A New Perspective on how Religions Balance Intuitiveness and Interest-Provokingness/Memorability 重新思考宗教认知与神话:宗教如何平衡直觉性与趣味性/记忆性的新视角

In his influential work on the cognitive science of religion (CSR), Pascal Boyer argues that the spread of religious ideas involves a tradeoff between their “intuitiveness” and their interest-provokingness/memorability (i.e.,their capacity to provoke interest and be remembered). For Boyer, religious ideas are “intuitive” insofar as they are easy to understand and learn. However, other CSR studies suggest that religious ideas are “intuitive” insofar as they are easy to believe. In analyzing the spread of religious ideas, no study has considered the tradeoff between interest-provokingness/memorability and intuitiveness in the sense of being easy to believe. The present article takes up this task by considering several religious concepts that are intuitively easy to believe (e.g., immortal souls, spirit beings, a Creator God, a just world). It is argued that, in typical religions, such concepts are incorporated into myths. Through incorporation, these concepts lose some of their intuitive believability but gain interest-provokingness/memorability.
Pascal Boyer在其关于宗教认知科学(CSR)的有影响力的著作中认为,宗教思想的传播涉及到它们的“直觉性”和它们的兴趣激发性/可记忆性(即,它们激发兴趣和被记住的能力)之间的权衡。对博耶来说,宗教思想是“直观的”,因为它们易于理解和学习。然而,其他企业社会责任研究表明,宗教思想是“直观的”,因为它们很容易被相信。在分析宗教思想的传播时,没有任何研究考虑到利益的挑衅性/可记忆性和易于相信的直觉性之间的权衡。本文通过考虑几个直观上容易相信的宗教概念来完成这项任务(例如,不朽的灵魂、精神存在、造物主上帝、公正的世界)。有人认为,在典型的宗教中,这些概念被纳入神话。通过合并,这些概念失去了一些直观的可信度,但获得了兴趣的煽动性/可记忆性。

A Prototype Analysis of the Cultural and Evolutionary Construction of Romantic Love as a Synthesis of Love and Sex 作为爱与性的综合体的浪漫爱情的文化和进化建构的原型分析

Our goal is to use prototype analysis to distinguish the folk or culturally held understandings of love, romantic love, and sex and to specify, from the obtained data, the semantic relationship among these three associated concepts. By considering the semantic distinctions between these three concepts, we come to an unintended insight: if romantic love is a socio-cultural universal it does not appear to have the same evolutionary history as love or sex and this may account for its somewhat ambiguous status in the scholarly literature on romantic love. We demonstrate that, in the United States, sex, in and of itself, is seldom conceived of as a relationship while love and romantic love are primarily viewed as relational. Our findings, though preliminary, strongly suggest that romantic love is a synthesis of two evolutionary drives: love (or bonding) and sex.
我们的目标是使用原型分析来区分民间或文化上对爱情、浪漫爱情和性的理解,并从获得的数据中明确这三个相关概念之间的语义关系。通过考虑这三个概念之间的语义区别,我们得到了一个意想不到的见解:如果浪漫爱情是一种社会文化的普遍存在,那么它似乎与爱情或性没有相同的进化历史,这可能解释了它在浪漫爱情的学术文献中有些模棱两可的地位。我们证明,在美国,性本身很少被认为是一种关系,而爱情和浪漫的爱情主要被视为关系。我们的发现虽然是初步的,但强烈地表明浪漫的爱情是两种进化驱动力的综合:爱(或联系)和性。

Human kinship systems play a central role in social organization, as anthropologists have long demonstrated. Much less is known about how cultural schemas of relatedness are transmitted across generations. How do children learn kinship concepts? To what extent is learning affected by known cross-cultural variation in how humans classify kin? This review draws on research in developmental psychology, linguistics, and anthropology to present our current understanding of the social and cognitive foundations of kinship categorization. Amid growing interest in kinship in the cognitive sciences, the paper aims to stimulate new research on the ontogeny of kinship categorization, a rich domain for studying the nexus of language, culture, and cognition. We introduce an interdisciplinary research toolkit to help streamline future research in this area.
正如人类学家长期以来所证明的那样,人类亲属制度在社会组织中发挥着核心作用。关于文化关联模式是如何代代相传的,我们知之甚少。孩子们是如何学习亲属关系概念的?在人类如何对亲属进行分类方面,已知的跨文化差异在多大程度上影响了学习?这篇综述借鉴了发展心理学、语言学和人类学的研究,介绍了我们目前对亲属分类的社会和认知基础的理解。随着认知科学对亲属关系的兴趣日益浓厚,本文旨在激发对亲属分类个体发生的新研究,这是研究语言、文化和认知关系的丰富领域。我们引入了一个跨学科的研究工具包,以帮助简化该领域未来的研究。

The Sense of Supernatural Agency 超自然力量的感觉
IF 0.4 Q1 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-06-01 DOI: 10.1163/15685373-12340094
F. Peters
The sense of supernatural agency constitutes a defining characteristic of the religious sphere of life. But what accounts for the continued cross-cultural recurrence of this psychological phenomenon over the course of human history? This paper reviews evidence indicating that the source of panhuman or universal cognitive patterns of thought and behaviour such as this lies in the common characteristics of the evolved human mind. Further, that the sense of the supernatural is constituted by a unique combination of commonly recurring cognitive processes that together give rise to a panhuman conviction in the reality of supernatural agencies able and (when minded) willing to assist each individual in situations deemed beyond the capacities of that individual. These cognitive processes are driven most acutely by existential anxiety in response to extrinsic physical, economic and social pressures indicating that religiosity is best understood as a social-psychological phenomenon.
超自然力量的感觉构成了宗教生活领域的一个决定性特征。但是,在人类历史的进程中,这种心理现象在跨文化中持续反复出现的原因是什么呢?本文回顾了一些证据,这些证据表明,诸如此类的泛人类或普遍的思维和行为认知模式的来源在于进化的人类心灵的共同特征。此外,超自然的感觉是由经常重复出现的认知过程的独特组合构成的,这些过程共同产生了一种泛人类的信念,即超自然的力量能够并且(如果有意识的话)愿意在被认为超出个人能力的情况下帮助每个人。这些认知过程是由外在的身体、经济和社会压力所引起的存在焦虑所驱动的,这表明宗教信仰最好被理解为一种社会心理现象。

Does “Faith” in Science Correlate with Indicators of Well-Being? 科学中的“信仰”与幸福指数相关吗?

Religion has long been theorized to serve important functions for societies and individuals; specifically, as a source of knowledge about what is real and as a source of norms prescribing how individuals should behave. However, science and scientists appear to be playing an increasingly large role in public discourse. A majority of adults in the U.S. report interest in science and an increasing number are obtaining degrees in the sciences – more so among males than females. As a result, we examined (1) whether and how participants’ demographic background, religious background, and two indicators of well-being relate to a “belief in science” index, and (2) whether those relations differed among males and females. 560 young adults from diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds participated. The findings presented here suggest that belief in science and religiosity are strongly inversely correlated, and if belief in science does confer emotion-related benefits, it may operate differently across demographic categories. Specifically, we find that belief in science is related to emotion dysregulation and death anxiety among males, but not females, even though females scored lower on these indicators of well-being overall.
长期以来,理论认为宗教为社会和个人提供重要功能;具体来说,它是关于什么是真实的知识的来源,也是规定个人应该如何行为的规范的来源。然而,科学和科学家似乎在公共话语中发挥着越来越大的作用。大多数美国成年人对科学感兴趣,越来越多的人正在获得科学学位——男性比女性更多。因此,我们研究了(1)参与者的人口背景、宗教背景和两项幸福感指标是否与“科学信仰”指数相关,以及如何相关;(2)这些关系在男性和女性之间是否存在差异。来自不同种族和宗教背景的560名年轻人参加了这次活动。这里提出的研究结果表明,对科学的信仰和宗教信仰是强烈的负相关,如果对科学的信仰确实赋予情感相关的好处,它可能在不同的人口类别中发挥不同的作用。具体来说,我们发现对科学的信仰与男性的情绪失调和死亡焦虑有关,但与女性无关,尽管女性在这些总体幸福感指标上得分较低。

The Plausible Impossible: Chinese Adults Hold Graded Notions of Impossibility 看似不可能的事:中国成年人对不可能的事持有分级的观念
IF 0.4 Q1 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-06-01 DOI: 10.1163/15685373-12340097
Tianwei Gong, Andrew Shtulman
Events that violate the laws of nature are, by definition, impossible, but recent research suggests that people view some violations as "more impossible" than others (Shtulman & Morgan, 2017). When evaluating the difficulty of magic spells, American adults are influenced by causal considerations that should be irrelevant given the spell's primary causal violation, judging, for instance, that it would be more difficult to levitate a bowling ball than a basketball even though weight should no longer be a consideration if contact is no longer necessary for support. In the present study, we sought to test the generalizability of these effects in a non-Western context China where magical events are represented differently in popular fiction and where reasoning styles are often more holistic than analytic. Across several studies, Chinese adults (n = 466) showed the same tendency as American adults to honor implicit causal constraints when evaluating the plausibility of magical events. These findings suggest that graded notions of impossibility are shared across cultures, possibly because they are a byproduct of causal knowledge.
根据定义,违反自然规律的事件是不可能的,但最近的研究表明,人们认为一些违反自然规律的事件比其他事件“更不可能”(Shtulman & Morgan, 2017)。当评估魔法咒语的难度时,美国成年人受到因果因素的影响,而这些因素与咒语的主要因果违反是不相关的,例如,判断一个保龄球比一个篮球更难以悬浮起来,尽管如果身体接触不再需要支撑,重量就不再是一个考虑因素。在本研究中,我们试图在非西方背景下的中国检验这些效应的普遍性。在中国,通俗小说对魔幻事件的描述方式不同,推理风格往往更注重整体而非分析。在几项研究中,中国成年人(n = 466)在评估魔法事件的合理性时,表现出与美国成年人相同的倾向,即尊重隐含的因果约束。这些发现表明,不可能的分级概念在不同文化中是共同的,可能是因为它们是因果知识的副产品。

What is the relationship between war propaganda and nationalism, and what are the effects of each on support for, or participation in, violent acts? This is an important question for international criminal law and ongoing speech crime trials, where prosecutors and judges continue to assert that there is a clear causal link between war propaganda, nationalism, and mass violence. Although most legal judgments hinge on the criminal intent of propagandists, the question of whether and to what extent propaganda and nationalism interact to cause support for violence or participation remains unanswered. Our goal here is to contribute to research on propaganda and nationalism by bridging international criminal law and the behavioral and brain sciences. We develop an experiment conducted with Serbian participants that examines the effects of propaganda as identified in the latest international speech crime trial as causing mass violence, and thereby test hypotheses of expert witness Anthony Oberschall’s theory of mass manipulation. Using principal components analysis and Bayesian regression, we examine the effects of propaganda exposure and prior levels of nationalism as well as other demographics on support for violence, ingroup empathy, and outgroup empathy. Results show that while exposure to war propaganda does not increase justifications of violence, specific types of war propaganda increase ingroup empathy and decrease outgroup empathy. Further, although nationalism by itself is not significant for justifying violence, the interaction of increased nationalism and exposure to violent media is significant for altering group empathies. The implications of these findings are discussed with respect to international criminal law and the cognitive science of nationalism.
战争宣传和民族主义之间的关系是什么?两者对支持或参与暴力行为的影响是什么?这是国际刑法和正在进行的言论犯罪审判的一个重要问题,检察官和法官继续断言,战争宣传、民族主义和大规模暴力之间存在明显的因果关系。虽然大多数法律判决取决于宣传人员的犯罪意图,但宣传和民族主义是否以及在多大程度上相互作用,导致对暴力或参与的支持,这个问题仍然没有答案。我们的目标是通过将国际刑法与行为科学和脑科学联系起来,为宣传和民族主义的研究做出贡献。我们开发了一项与塞尔维亚参与者进行的实验,该实验检验了在最近的国际言论犯罪审判中被确定为导致大规模暴力的宣传的影响,从而检验了专家证人安东尼·奥伯沙尔(Anthony Oberschall)的大规模操纵理论的假设。利用主成分分析和贝叶斯回归,我们研究了宣传曝光和民族主义的先前水平以及其他人口统计数据对暴力支持、群体内共情和群体外共情的影响。研究结果显示,虽然接触战争宣传不会增加暴力正当性,但特定类型的战争宣传会增加群体内同理心,减少群体外同理心。此外,虽然民族主义本身对为暴力辩护并不重要,但民族主义增加和接触暴力媒体的相互作用对改变群体共情具有重要意义。这些发现的影响,讨论了有关国际刑法和民族主义的认知科学。
