ABSTRACT

Past research has provided support for the existence of a negativity bias, the tendency for negativity to have a stronger impact than positivity. Theoretically, the negativity bias provides an evolutionary advantage, as it is more critical for survival to avoid a harmful stimulus than to pursue a potentially helpful one. The current paper reviews the theoretical grounding of the negativity bias in the Evaluative Space Model, and presents recent findings using a multilevel approach that further elucidate the mechanisms underlying the negativity bias and underscore the importance of the negativity bias for human functioning.

重新审视消极偏见：来自神经科学测量的证据和个体差异方法

摘要

过去的研究为消极偏见的存在提供了支持，即消极的倾向比积极的影响更大。从理论上讲，消极偏见提供了一种进化优势，因为对于生存来说，避免有害刺激比追求可能有帮助的刺激更为重要。本论文回顾了评估空间模型中消极偏见的理论基础，并使用多层次方法介绍了最近的发现，进一步阐明了消极偏见背后的机制，并强调了消极偏见对人类功能的重要性。
