摘要

我们是如何意识到自己的情绪的,目前仍不清楚。知觉理论认为,情绪是一种知觉形式,就像简单的感觉一样可以被意识到。该理论最近得到了 Berkovich 和 Meiran(2023 年)的支持,他们利用愉快度报告的证据积累建模表明,愉快的情绪感受遵循最基本的心理物理定律之一--韦伯定律,几乎所有的感觉都是如此。与预测相反的是,愉悦感是如此,而不愉快感则不然。在这项于 2022 年底收集数据的工作中,我们采用了相同的实验方法,并成功地复制了实验结果,但仅限于直接探究愉快感时(情绪被描述为 "积极感觉 "或 "积极与消极感觉")。我们意外地发现,当我们直接探究不愉快感(即 "负面感觉")时,结果发生了翻转,我们发现不愉快感遵循韦伯定律,而愉快感则不然。因此,在直接探究愉快和不愉快感觉时,韦伯定律都是成立的,从而为知觉理论提供了更有力的支持。这反过来又说明,韦伯定律是导致追求幸福不成功等现象的原因,也说明了为什么心理治疗在注重增强积极情绪而不是减少消极情绪时,能特别有效地改善感觉。研究结果受到了参与者为非抑郁症本科生这一事实的限制。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, 版权所有)。

Both pleasant and unpleasant emotional feelings follow Weber's law but it depends how you ask.

It remains unclear how we become aware of our emotions. The perceptual theory argues that emotions are a form of perception and reach awareness just like simple sensations. The theory was recently supported by Berkovich and Meiran (2023) showing, using evidence accumulation modeling of pleasantness reports, that pleasant emotional feelings follow one of the most basic psychophysical laws, Weber's Law, as nearly all sensations do. Contrary to predictions, this was true for pleasantness and not for unpleasantness. In this work, of which data were collected at the end of 2022, we employed the same experimental approach and successfully replicated the results but only when pleasantness was probed directly (emotions described as either "positive feeling" or "positive vs. negative feeling"). We unexpectedly found that the results flipped when we probed unpleasantness directly (i.e., "negative feeling") where we found that unpleasantness followed Weber's Law while pleasantness did not. Thus, Weber's Law holds for both pleasant and unpleasant feelings when probed directly, thereby providing an even stronger support for the perceptual theory. This in turn suggests that Weber's Law contributes to phenomena such as the unsuccessful pursuit of happiness and why psychotherapy is especially effective in leading to felt improvement when focusing on enhancing positive emotions and not on reducing negative emotions. The findings are limited by the fact that the participants were nondepressed undergraduate students. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

期刊介绍: Emotion publishes significant contributions to the study of emotion from a wide range of theoretical traditions and research domains. The journal includes articles that advance knowledge and theory about all aspects of emotional processes, including reports of substantial empirical studies, scholarly reviews, and major theoretical articles. Submissions from all domains of emotion research are encouraged, including studies focusing on cultural, social, temperament and personality, cognitive, developmental, health, or biological variables that affect or are affected by emotional functioning. Both laboratory and field studies are appropriate for the journal, as are neuroimaging studies of emotional processes.
