群体共享情绪的放大效应

相比独自经历情绪事件,在群体中与他人共享情绪事件会放大个体的情绪体验,该效应被称之为群体共享情绪的放大效应。以往研究为群体共享情绪放大效应提供了部分间接的实验证据,但以往的理论,如群体共同关注理论和情绪传染理论,并不能对该效应做出很好的解释。基于社会评估理论和共享现实理论提出的评估–证实–放大模型可较好地解释群体共享情绪的放大效应。未来研究可在真实互动的群体情境中检验群体共享情绪放大效应及评估–证实–放大模型。

The amplification effect of group-shared emotion

Sharing emotional events with group members amplifies each individual's emotional experience compared to experiencing the same emotional events as an individual.This increase is termed the amplification effect of group-shared emotion.Considerable experimental evidence supports this concept.Different underlying mechanisms for this effect,e.g.,group co-attention and emotional contagion,have been proposed.Building on the theories of social appraisal and shared reality,we proposed that the amplification effect of group-shared emotion occurs via an appraisal-verification-amplification process model.Previous research on the amplification effect primarily focused on dyads,and the emotions were even experienced in artificial situations.Hence,further research should examine the amplification effect in real group situations.More research is also need to examine the appraisal-verification-amplification process model.
