之前探索评价和身体运动之间关系的研究主要集中在片面评价上。然而，人们经常会遇到他们同时持有积极和消极观点的对象或情景，这导致了一种矛盾心理的体验。这样的经历经常被用身体上的术语来描述：例如，人们说他们在一个问题的两个方面“摇摆不定”或“支离破碎”。在此观察的基础上，我们设计了两项研究来探索矛盾心理体验与左右移动或摇摆之间的关系。在研究1中，我们使用Wii平衡板来测量运动，发现经历矛盾心理的人比没有经历矛盾心理的人更多地从一边移动到另一边。在研究2中，我们诱导身体运动来探索反向关系，发现当人们被要求从一边移动到另一边时，他们的矛盾体验会增强。
Prior research exploring the relationship between evaluations and body movements has focused on one-sided evaluations. However, people regularly encounter objects or situations about which they simultaneously hold both positive and negative views, which results in the experience of ambivalence. Such experiences are often described in physical terms: For example, people say they are "wavering" between two sides of an issue or are "torn." Building on this observation, we designed two studies to explore the relationship between the experience of ambivalence and side-to-side movement, or wavering. In Study 1, we used a Wii Balance Board to measure movement and found that people who are experiencing ambivalence move from side to side more than people who are not experiencing ambivalence. In Study 2, we induced body movement to explore the reverse relationship and found that when people are made to move from side to side, their experiences of ambivalence are enhanced.
