当刺激物更具威胁性时，它们是否看起来更接近？我们测试了人们对距离刺激的感知，他们认为是威胁相对于他们认为是恶心或中性的刺激的感知。两项研究表明，发出威胁情感信号的刺激（例如，攻击性男学生）被认为比发出厌恶情感信号的刺激（例如，令人厌恶的男学生）或没有情感信号。即使在控制了生理唤醒、物体熟悉度和负面情绪反应强度的直接影响之后，我们发现威胁性刺激似乎比恶心的刺激更接近身体（研究2）。这些发现突出了偏见感知，行动调节和成功的环境导航之间的联系。
Do stimuli appear to be closer when they are more threatening? We tested people's perceptions of distance to stimuli that they felt were threatening relative to perceptions of stimuli they felt were disgusting or neutral. Two studies demonstrated that stimuli that emitted affective signals of threat (e.g., an aggressive male student) were seen as physically closer than stimuli that emitted affective signals of disgust (e.g., a repulsive male student) or no affective signal. Even after controlling for the direct effects of physiological arousal, object familiarity, and intensity of the negative emotional reaction, we found that threatening stimuli appeared to be physically closer than did disgusting ones (Study 2). These findings highlight the links among biased perception, action regulation, and successful navigation of the environment.
