【摘要】 社会交往是人类最重要的活动之一,具有文化多样性。人类在进化中发展出加工关于自我和他人社会信息的特定机制,这些机制受社会文化情境的影响。人脑在加工与自我和他人相关的社会信息时,也表现出神经层面上的文化可塑性。本文介绍了近年来对社会认知及其神经基础的跨文化研究,这些研究促使了文化神经科学的诞生。还讨论了该领域的重要研究问题。更多还原

【Abstract】 Social interaction is a key component of human life and exhibits cultural diversity. Humans evolve specific ability to process social information in order to conduct interactions. The mechanisms underlying social cognition are strongly influenced by sociocultural contexts. Recent research has shown that the neural mechanisms involved in social cognition also exhibit plasticity that can afford cultural variations in neural processing of oneself and others. We review recent transcultural brain imaging studies of social cognition that gave birth to cultural neuroscience. Future questions in the field are also discussed.更多还原
