现代人是如何形成对他们所生活的广大社会的认识的?社会认知已经进化到能够理解小型亲密的社会群体,但在复杂的大众社会中,类似的生动的社会线索却很少。关于政治态度和行为的现有研究强调媒体和人际网络是线索的关键来源。扩展一个经典的论点,我们提供的证据的重要性的替代和内部来源:想象力。以社会福利为重点,我们从两个截然不同的民主国家--美国和丹麦--收集了调查数据,并使用外显、内隐和行为测量方法进行了几项研究。通过分析想象力的个体差异的影响,我们表明,政治认知依赖于生动的,心理模拟,从事进化的社会和情感决策机制。正是在人们的头脑中,生动性和参与性被添加到人们对大众政治的感觉中。
How do modern individuals form a sense of the vast societies in which they live? Social cognition has evolved to make sense of small, intimate social groups, but in complex mass societies, comparable vivid social cues are scarcer. Extant research on political attitudes and behavior has emphasized media and interpersonal networks as key sources of cues. Extending a classical argument, we provide evidence for the importance of an alternative and internal source: imagination. With a focus on social welfare, we collected survey data from two very different democracies, the United States and Denmark, and conducted several studies using explicit, implicit, and behavioral measures. By analyzing the effects of individual differences in imagination, we demonstrate that political cognition relies on vivid, mental simulations that engage evolved social and emotional decision-making mechanisms. It is in the mind's eye that vividness and engagement are added to people's sense of mass politics.
