站在他人的角度看问题能改变我们对刺激的情感反应吗？为了解决这个问题，我们研究了支持从他人角度看待世界的能力的神经生物学机制，从而在情感上体验世界。我们测量了参与者的神经活动，因为他们试图预测两个人的情绪反应，这两个人在经历负面影响的倾向方面有所不同。结果表明，行为和神经签名的负面影响（杏仁核活动和分布式多体元模式反映情感消极）模拟假定的情感状态的目标人。此外，前内侧前额叶皮层（mPFC）-一个涉及精神状态推理的区域-表现出与杏仁核的连接的视角依赖模式，和mPFC内的多体素活动模式区分两个目标。我们讨论了这些研究结果的影响，观点采择和自我调节的研究。
Can taking the perspective of other people modify our own affective responses to stimuli? To address this question, we examined the neurobiological mechanisms supporting the ability to take another person's perspective and thereby emotionally experience the world as they would. We measured participants' neural activity as they attempted to predict the emotional responses of two individuals that differed in terms of their proneness to experience negative affect. Results showed that behavioral and neural signatures of negative affect (amygdala activity and a distributed multivoxel pattern reflecting affective negativity) simulated the presumed affective state of the target person. Furthermore, the anterior medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC)-a region implicated in mental state inference-exhibited a perspective-dependent pattern of connectivity with the amygdala, and the multivoxel pattern of activity within the mPFC differentiated between the two targets. We discuss the implications of these findings for research on perspective-taking and self-regulation.
