摘要: 进化动机影响社会认知的研究关注社会认知的起源、机能及影响。进化动机影响社会认知的一般特点有(1)特殊性, 如成功地解决求偶问题的机制不能用来解决身体危险有关的问题, (2)灵活性, 如不同类别的环境线索自动地激活与线索类别有关的社会信息。借用传统的社会认知研究方法, 研究者发现特定的线索会启动相应的进化动机(如面孔吸引力启动人们的求偶动机), 进化动机激活后就能引导人们加工有利于这种动机(或目标)实现的信息(如性别相关的风险信息等)。未来的进化动机影响社会认知的研究可以结合积极心理学(positive psychology)与具身认知(embodied cognition)的理论假设, 以产生更有价值的研究成果。

Abstract: Motivated evolutionary social cognition addressed the origin and function of social cognition. The given mechanism of processing social information was designed to deal with the certain evolutionary problem. For example, the solutions of parenting offspring can not be used to solve mating search issues. The empirical studies of motivated evolutionary social cognition usually make hypotheses on the evolution theory, and then used the traditional experimental methods to examine these hypotheses. When the evolved psychological mechanisms (such as mating motives) were primed, mating motives or other evolved motives can affect people cognition process that was activated. However, Future studies of motivated evolutionary social cognition should pay attention to the effect of positive psychology and embodied cognition on the research of social cognition.

Key words: Evolutionary social cognition, evolutionary motives, evolution theory
