史蒂芬·平克:人们比以往任何时候都更加害怕,但世界并没有比以往任何时候都更加危险。这表明人们对世界的感知受到了媒体等外部因素的影响,而并非完全反映了客观现实。 John R. Miles:平均世界综合症是由于长时间接触暴力或耸人听闻的媒体内容而导致的一种心理现象,它会让人们相信世界充满了危险和敌意。这种现象在当今的数字时代被社交媒体平台所放大,因为这些平台的算法会优先推送那些能够引起强烈情绪反应(如恐惧、愤怒或悲伤)的内容。这会导致人们对现实的感知扭曲,并增加焦虑感。平均世界综合症不仅会影响个人的心理健康,还会侵蚀社区信任,加剧政治极化,并对社会凝聚力造成负面影响。 为了对抗平均世界综合症,John R. Miles 建议采取以下策略: 1. 多样化媒体消费:避免过度依赖单一的、以恐惧为基础的媒体来源,而是积极接触更平衡、更积极的内容。 2. 有意识的媒体消费:设定具体的媒体使用时间,限制接触负面内容,并定期休息,避免过度使用社交媒体。 3. 积极参与社区活动:通过与周围的人建立联系,获得对现实世界的更准确的理解,从而挑战媒体所塑造的扭曲的感知。 John R. Miles: 平均世界综合症的根源在于人们对媒体的过度消费,特别是那些以恐惧为基础的媒体内容,例如犯罪剧和社交媒体上充斥的负面新闻。这些媒体内容会扭曲人们对现实的感知,使他们高估暴力犯罪的普遍性,并对周围环境产生不必要的恐惧。为了对抗这种现象,John R. Miles 提出,人们应该: 1. 多样化媒体消费,避免过度依赖单一类型的媒体,例如犯罪剧或耸人听闻的新闻报道,而是积极接触更平衡、更积极的内容,例如纪录片、教育节目或注重深度报道的新闻媒体。 2. 实行有意识的媒体消费,设定具体的媒体使用时间,限制接触负面内容,并定期休息,避免过度使用社交媒体。 3. 积极参与当地社区活动,通过与周围的人建立联系,获得对现实世界的更准确的理解,从而挑战媒体所塑造的扭曲的感知。通过这些方式,人们可以减轻平均世界综合症带来的焦虑和恐惧,并重新获得对自身视角的掌控,从而拥有更平衡和更准确的世界观。
