身体动作既表达又影响人们的感受和思考。这种双向影响的概念化假设运动概念协会可以是先天的或学习的，虽然证据学习协会仍然含糊不清。两项研究提供了一个保守的测试学习运动概念协会，调查文化特定的身体运动的影响，其中涉及运动和相关概念之间的任意关系。排除敌意启动的影响，伸出中指影响了将模棱两可的攻击行为解释为敌意，但不影响无关的特质判断（研究1）。与整体评价启动效应相比，拇指向上延伸导致对同一目标沿着所有特质维度的更积极评价和对目标的更高喜爱（研究2）。(C)2008年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
Body movements both express and influence how people feel and think. Conceptualizations of this bidirectional influence assume that movement-concept associations can be innate or learned, although evidence for learned associations remained ambiguous. Providing a conservative test of learned movement-concept associations, two studies investigate the influence of culture-specific body movements, which involve an arbitrary relationship between movements and associated concepts. Paralleling the influence of hostility primes, extending the middle finger influenced the interpretation of ambiguously aggressive behaviors as hostile, but did not influence unrelated trait judgments (Study 1). Paralleling the effects of global evaluative primes, upward extension of the thumb resulted in more positive evaluations of the same target along all trait dimensions and higher liking of the target (Study 2).
