Lisa Feldman Barrett: 情绪并非由一组独特的生理或面部特征定义。长期以来,科学家们试图找到诊断性模式来区分不同情绪,但经验证据并不支持这一观点。面部表情是对运动意义的解读,并非所有面部运动都是表达内在状态。大脑与身体之间持续对话,面部表情对大脑的影响并非特殊机制。认为存在普遍的面部表情与特定情绪状态一一对应的说法,是基于西方文化偏见,缺乏科学依据。研究表明,面部表情与情绪之间没有普遍且可靠的一一对应关系。 Andrew Huberman: 基于对情绪核心构成要素的讨论,以及对经典教科书中面部表情与情绪对应关系的质疑,引发了对语言是否足以捕捉情绪复杂性的讨论。语言对情绪的描述存在局限性,不同文化对情绪的词汇和理解也存在差异。

Shownotes Transcript

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett, Ph.D.), a Distinguished Professor of Psychology at Northeastern University who is a world expert in the science of emotions. She explains what emotions are and how the brain represents and integrates signals from our body and the environment around us to create our unique emotional states. We discuss the relationship between emotions and language, how our specificity of language impacts our emotional processing, the role of facial expressions in emotions, and how emotions relate to sleep, movement, nutrition and the building and reinforcement of social bonds. We also discuss actionable tools for how to regulate feelings of uncertainty and tools to better understand the emotional states of others. This episode ought to be of interest to anyone curious about the neuroscience and psychology underlying emotions and for those who seek to better understand themselves and relate to others and the world in richer, more adaptive ways.
