Abstract

Despite the importance of positive emotions, little empirical attention has been given to factors that influence their intensity. We explored the influence of psychological distance on the experience of joy and pride. We suggest that pride involves a relatively more distant perspective than joy, and therefore, a psychologically distant perspective will lead to a less intense experience of joy than of pride. In Experiments 1a and 1b, using the Implicit Association Test, we found joy was associated with psychological proximity, whereas pride was associated with psychological distance. We then manipulated psychological distance through black-and-white versus color imagery (Experiment 2), and a third-versus first-person perspective (Experiment 3). We found that psychological distance consistently decreased the intensity of joy, whereas for pride, we found a smaller effect (Experiment 2) or no effect at all (Experiment 3). These findings suggest that psychological distance plays a different role in the regulation of joy and pride.
心理距离对快乐与骄傲体验的影响
尽管积极情绪很重要,但很少有人从经验上关注影响其强度的因素。我们探讨了心理距离对快乐和自豪感体验的影响。我们认为,与快乐相比,骄傲涉及相对更遥远的视角,因此,心理上遥远的视角会导致快乐体验不如骄傲强烈。在实验1a和1b中,使用内隐联想测试,我们发现快乐与心理接近有关,而自豪感与心理距离有关。然后,我们通过黑白图像与彩色图像(实验2)以及第三人称视角与第一人称视角(实验3)来操纵心理距离。我们发现,心理距离会持续降低快乐的强度,而对于自豪感,我们发现影响较小(实验2)或根本没有影响(实验3)。这些发现表明,心理距离在快乐和自豪感的调节中起着不同的作用。
