Study On The Global/local Processing Advantage Of Unconscious Perception And Thinking Of The Mongolian And Han In The Chinese Language Situation

From the theory of psychological differentiation of Witkin to the Dawson's sociobiology theoretical model,and then to the theory of ecological culture patterns of Berry all better illustrate a series of research results on cognitive cross-cultural differences,such as western individuals tend to be analytical cognition,easy to form independent cognitive style,and the east individuals tend to comprehensive cognition,easy to form dependent cognitive style;the members of the cultural groups of loose social structure and society emphasizing autonomy more belong to independent cognitive style,and the members of the cultural groups of tight social structure and society emphasizing obedience more belong to dependent cognitive style.Cross-cultural psychology research,especially the research on cognition has made great progress in recent decades,but there are still some problems and insufficiencies,the current research is mainly on the cultural comparisons of eastern and western,and study on the differences of different ethnic subculture groups(cultural integration trend preferred to Chinese language context)is less,and content and direction of the researches are simple,such as the study is not involved in global/local processing preferences of different ethnic groups,and the evidence of the influencing factors of global/local processing preference is not sufficient.In addition,many studies are in consciousness,and the related research of the unconscious is mainly concerned with its generation mechanism and the differences with conscious,less on cross-cultural differences of unconscious cognition.Perception and thinking are two important components of cognitive process,and respectively responsible for the low level to high level of cognitive processing.Both two are closely linked.As a cognitive approach and a kind of personality traits,the global/local processing preferences between the low-level psychological function and senior psychological function are the same or not,what remains to be further investigation.The solution of the above problems will help to reveal the cross-cultural differences of unconscious cognition.It has positive impact on the localization of psychology research,and some inspiration for the future research direction and content.This research mainly discusses the following four issues: first,whether the unconscious perception and the effect of the unconscious thinking exist or not? Second,what are the global/local processing advantages of unconscious perception and thinking? Third,what does the density or size influence on the global/local processing advantages of unconscious perception? Fourth,whether there is any difference on the global/local processing advantages of unconscious perception and thinking between Mongolian and Han ethnic? And through two researches to solve the above problems.There are two experiments in study 1 to solve whether the unconscious perception exists or not,what does the density or size influence on the global/local processing advantages of unconscious perception,what are the global/local processing advantages of unconscious perception,and whether there is any difference on the global/local processing advantages of unconscious perception between Mongolian and Han ethnic: the first experiment adopts the single factor design(the relationship between the guiding stimulus and the target stimulus: relevant/irrelevant).The second experiment uses 3(the relationship between the guiding stimulus and the target stimulus: global consistent/local consistent/irrelevant)x 2(the density of the guiding stimulus: dense/loose)x 2(the size of the target stimulus: large/small)x 2(nation: Han/Mongolian)of mixed experimental design,the nation is a variable of between subjects,the rest of the variables are within subjects.There are two experiments in study 2 to solve whether the effect of unconscious thinking exists or not,what are the global/local processing advantages of unconscious thinking,and whether there is any difference on the global/local processing advantages of unconscious thinking between Mongolian and Han ethnic: the first experiment adopts the single factor between subjects experimental design(thinking type: conscious/unconscious).The second experiment uses 3(thinking type: conscious thinking/unconscious thinking of Navon big letters distraction task/ unconscious thinking of Navon small letters distraction task)x 2(nation: Han/Mongolian)of two factors between subjects experimental design.The result of the first experiment of study 1 is: the main effect of the relationship between the guiding stimulus and the target stimulus is significant.The result of the second experiment of study 1 is: the main effect of the relationship between the guiding stimulus and the target stimulus is significant,the main effect of nation is significant,the main effect of density of the guiding stimulus is significant,the interaction between density of the guiding stimulus and nation is significant,the interaction among the relationship between the guiding stimulus and the target stimulus,density of the guiding stimulus and nation is significant.The result of the first experiment of study 2 is: the main effect of thinking type is significant.The result of the second experiment of study 2 is: the main effect of thinking type is not significant,the main effect of nation is not significant,the interaction between thinking type and nation is significant.Conclusion:(1)This research confirms the existence of unconscious perception,and unconscious perception makes local processing advantage.The global/local processing advantages of unconscious perception of Mongolian and Han ethnic are different at Chinese language situation,Han converses the styles for different conditions,while the Mongolian makes local processing advantage.This research also confirms the existence of the effect of unconscious thinking,namely unconscious thinking is more conducive to solve the complex problems than the conscious thinking.The unconscious thinking of Han makes global processing advantage,while the unconscious thinking of Mongolian makes local processing advantage.(2)The density of the guiding stimulus influences the global/local processing advantages of unconscious perception.The unconscious perception at dense(highlighted global)makes global processing advantage,and is characterized by local processing advantage at loose(highlighted local).The size of the target affects the global/local processing advantages of unconscious perception by the density of guiding stimulus,unconscious perception makes global processing advantage at large and dense,it is characterized by local processing advantage at large and loose,small and dense,or small and loose.
