The Influence Of Temperature Perception On The Implicit Altruism Behavior Under The Perspective Of Embodied Cognitive

Based on the perspective of embodied cognition,previous studies,which were guided by the conceptual metaphor theory have revealed that there is a deep-level psychological metaphorical relationship between temperature and social emotion.Temperature-social affection metaphor is produced through the continuous construction of early experience.Metaphor consistency effects and metaphor compensation effects are used to address the mechanism of this metaphor.previous studies on this metaphor found that a warm and comfortable environment significantly increases people's altruistic behaviors and enhances people's positive evaluation of others.As a special kind of prosocial behavior,implicit altruistic behavior have a significant impact on people's daily lives.At present,few studies have explored implicit altruism from the perspective of embodied metaphor.Therefore,this paper which is based on the temperature-social affection metaphor,discusses the influence of temperature perception on implicit altruistic behavior.The present study bases its methodology on relative studies home and abroad.I use cold and warm vocabulary divergence thinking test,which triggers physiological temperature,mood-inducing paradigm,which triggers mental temperature through social acceptance and social exclusion and implicit association test to experiment on high-school students.The experiment is carried out using E-prime 1.0 and SpSS 16.0 are used to analyze the following results.(a)This study verifies that metaphor consistency effects exist between physiological and psychological temperature,and there is a bidirectional initiation between individual physiological temperature and psychological temperature.The operation of psychological warmth affects the physiological temperature experience of the subjects,which is reflected in the stronger perception of the indoor temperature;and starting a physiological warming experience increases more implicit altruism behavior.(b)The experiences of cold and warm temperature have different effects on implicit altruistic behavior.Experiences of warm temperature both physiologically and psychologically help increase individuals' implicit altruistic behavior more than cold temperature experience,and the physiological and psychological influences are the same.(c)Different sequences of cold and warm operations have different effects on implicit altruism when physiological and psychological temperature experience are initiated simultaneously.The dual start of physiological and psychological warmth experience can maximize the individuals' implicit altruistic behavior.The psychological warming afterwards can compensate for the cold consciousness in front of them and increase the individuals' implicit interest and their behavior.
