Abstract

Our research in the past 40 years has identified beneficial effects of Chinese calligraphy handwriting (CCH) practice on visual attention, cognitive activation, physiological slowdown, emotional relaxation and behavioural change. We hypothesised that these outcomes may constitute a compressive set of foundations which could impact several traits of Chinese personality within the context of Confucian culture and values. Here, we give a brief overview of the background of CCH and its effect in the cognitive, physiological and bio-emotional domains. We then provide empirical evidence showing strong association of CCH and personality traits and discuss the results in the contexts of calligraphy practice and Confucian literati personality, Confucianism and Chinese personalities as well as calligraphy writing and tool-using psychological theory.

书法、心理学与儒家文人人格
在过去40年的研究中,我们发现了中国书法练习对视觉注意力、认知激活、生理放缓、情绪放松和行为改变的有益影响。我们假设,这些结果可能构成一组压缩的基础,在儒家文化和价值观的背景下,这些基础可能会影响中国人的几个性格特征。在这里,我们简要概述了CCH的背景及其在认知、生理和生物情感领域的作用。然后,我们提供了表明CCH与人格特质之间存在强烈关联的实证证据,并利用心理学理论,在书法实践与儒家文人人格、儒家与中国人人格以及书法写作和工具的背景下讨论了这一结果。
