FOR 605: Emotion and Behaviour: Reflective and Impulsive Processes

该研究股预计进行的研究的目标是将心理学的社会、生物学和神经学领域的理论观点和方法结合起来，以便更好地了解情绪和行为的相互影响。这些心理学集中的一个共同观点是，人类行为是由两个系统决定的，这两个系统通过不同的过程运作。在社会心理学中，反思机制和冲动机制共同作用于行为是很重要的。在神经心理学中，它是前额叶皮层和脑干区域活动的相互作用。在这两种情况下，决定性影响可以促进协同行为执行，但也可能引发系统之间的冲突。这方面的一个例子是在诱惑和成瘾的情况下，其中情绪通过影响冲动行为发挥作用，而自我调节的反射机制可以在适当的条件下调动反向能力。

The studies projected for this Research Unit pursue the goal of merging theoretical perspectives and methods in the social, biological and neurological fields of psychology to reach a greater understanding of the reciprocal influences of emotion and behaviour. A common perspective in these concentrations of psychology is the understood assumption that human behaviour is determined through two systems, operating through differential processes. In social psychology, reflective and impulsive mechanisms acting together on behaviour stand in the foreground. In neuropsychology, it is the interaction of activities in the prefrontal cortex and in regions of the brain stem. In both cases, the deciding influences could facilitate synergetic behavioural execution, but could also initiate a conflict between systems. One example of this is in situations of temptation and addiction, wherein emotions play a role by influencing impulsive behaviour, while reflective mechanisms of self-regulation can mobilise counter-directional faculties under appropriate conditions.
