Topics
Shankar Vedantam：探讨了群体情绪如何影响个体行为，即使是那些最初对政治不感兴趣的人，也可能被周围人的热情所感染。他以Mark Rudd的经历为例，说明了集体参与如何激发个体对宏大目标的追求，并使其超越个人利益。同时，他也指出了集体情绪的极端化可能导致个体做出极端行为，例如参与暴力革命。 Amit Goldenberg：分享了他个人在犹太教节日赎罪日、以色列政治抗议活动和2010年股市闪崩事件中的经历，这些经历都展现了集体情绪的强大力量。他指出，集体表达负面情绪，即使这些情绪在个体层面通常是不愉快的，但在集体层面却能带来积极感受。他认为，人们对他人情绪的判断可能不准确，导致情绪放大效应。他介绍了情绪传染和情绪级联的概念，并以Facebook的情绪传染实验和弗格森事件为例，说明了这些现象如何影响人们的情绪和行为。他还探讨了‘顶端亲和力’的概念，即人们更倾向于与比自己更极端的人互动，这会导致网络极化和情绪强化。最后，他总结了集体情绪放大机制：情绪传染、错误感知和关系选择。 Amit Goldenberg：他认为，人们对他人情绪的判断可能不准确，导致情绪放大效应。他介绍了情绪传染和情绪级联的概念，并以Facebook的情绪传染实验和弗格森事件为例，说明了这些现象如何影响人们的情绪和行为。他还探讨了‘顶端亲和力’的概念，即人们更倾向于与比自己更极端的人互动，这会导致网络极化和情绪强化。最后，他总结了集体情绪放大机制：情绪传染、错误感知和关系选择。他认为，调控集体情绪需要找到绕过其内在动机限制的方法，并指出研究人员正在探索调控集体情绪的方法，以减少负面情绪，提升希望。他还探讨了在亲子关系中，父母如何通过情绪补偿来维持家庭平衡，以及领导者在调节集体情绪中的作用。

Shownotes Transcript

This week, we kick off our new series, Emotions 2.0, with a special double episode about the emotions we experience with other people. We often think that emotions like happiness or sadness live inside our individual minds. But if you’ve ever gone to a music concert in a big stadium or attended a political rally with like-minded voters, you know that emotions can move through crowds in powerful ways. We begin with psychologist Amit Goldenberg), who studies how emotions spread and ratchet up in intensity as more people experience them. Then, we bring you a favorite 2022 conversation with anthropologist Dimitris Xygalatas), who takes us inside the world of fire walking to explore the emotional power of rituals.
