抽象的人有一种令人着迷的能力，能够从外部的有利位置描绘他们的行为。许多关于第三人称意象的研究都集中在它对认知的具体影响上，这是因为它缺乏相对于第一人称意象的情节经验元素。其他研究侧重于第三人称提供的信息，而第一人称图像缺乏这些信息。我们提出了一种更系统的方法，来概念化第三人称图像的各种影响是如何由于共同的潜在社会认知功能而相互联系的。具体地说，我们概述了一个整合模型，该模型提出第三人称意象和第一人称意象导致人们采用定性不同的加工风格。这个模型解释了文献中记载的许多不同的影响，并帮助调和了看似不一致的发现。最后，我们建议更系统地研究视觉视角在心理意象中的作用的策略，以建立对这一现象学变量的更全面的理解。
ABSTRACT People have a fascinating capacity to picture their actions from an external vantage point. Much of the research on this third-person imagery has focused on the specific effects it has on cognition due to the elements of episodic experience that it lacks relative to first-person imagery. Other research focuses on the information that the third-person provides that first-person imagery lacks. We propose a more systematic approach that conceptualises how third-person imagery’s various effects interrelate due to a common underlying social-cognitive function. Specifically, we outline an integrative model proposing that third-person and first-person imagery cause people to adopt qualitatively distinct processing styles. This model explains many of the diverse effects that have been documented in the literature and helps reconcile seemingly discrepant findings. We conclude with recommendations for strategies to more systematically investigate the functions of visual perspective in mental imagery to build more comprehensive understanding of this phenomenological variable.
