摘要

对许多人来说,情绪经常是在与上帝交流时表达出来的。祈祷的实践显然是身体力行的,这为研究相关背景下的全身情绪表达提供了条件。令人惊讶的是,在实证科学研究中,我们记录了代表不同情绪范围(即祈祷、敬拜、赞美、感恩、忏悔、忏悔、对上帝的愤怒)的祈祷者的全身姿势,并将它们与代表两种基本情绪维度(情绪价值和主导地位)的特定情绪的姿势以及特定的相关情绪(感恩的感激、忏悔和忏悔的内疚)进行了比较。我们要求了解基督教的美国社区参与者(n = 93)通过摆放一个小型人体模型来展示他们如何用全身表达这些情感。通过对姿势的分析,得出了身体垂直、水平和总空间的客观测量值,以及另一个样本对相同维度的主观感受。此外,还开发了一套观察编码系统,用于对头部和手臂位置等身体组成部分进行编码。结果显示,代表祈祷和崇拜这两个主要类别的姿势之间存在明显差异。此外,还发现代表赞美的姿势(其次是代表感恩的姿势)具有扩张性并向上倾斜,略小于代表积极情感的姿势,但大于代表支配的姿势。代表悔改和忏悔的姿势被发现是收缩性的,方向向下,甚至比负面情绪的姿势更小,与屈服相似。这些结果增加了我们对情绪姿势表达,尤其是积极情绪姿势表达的有限了解。此外,还讨论了对宗教心理学的影响。

Emotion Expression in Context: Full Body Postures of Christian Prayer Orientations Compared to Specific Emotions

For many people, emotions are frequently expressed in the context of communication with their God. The practice of prayer is clearly embodied and affords the study of full body expressions of emotions in a relevant context. Surprisingly uncharacterized in empirical scientific research, we document full body postures representing prayers in different emotional registers (i.e., prayer, worship, praise, thanksgiving, repentance, confession, anger toward God) and compare them to postures representing specific emotions varying on two basic affective dimensions (valence and dominance), and to specific relevant emotions (gratitude for thanksgiving, guilt for confession and repentance). US community participants with knowledge of Christianity (n = 93) were asked to show how they would express these feelings in the full body by positioning a small mannequin. Postures were analyzed to derive objective measurements of the body’s vertical, horizontal, and total space, and subjective perceptions of the same dimensions from a separate sample. An observational coding system was also developed to code for components of the body, such as head and arm positions. Results show distinct differences between postures representing the overarching categories of prayer versus worship. Further, postures representing praise and to a lesser extent those of thanksgiving were found to be expansive and oriented upward, slightly smaller than postures of positive valence but bigger than dominance. Postures representing repentance and confession were found to be constrictive and oriented downward, even smaller than postures of negative valence and similar to submission. These results add to our limited knowledge of postural expressions of emotions and particularly that of positive emotions. Implications for the psychology of religion are also discussed.
