Classical theories of emotion have long debated the extent to which human emotion is a universal or culturally-constructed experience. Recent advances in emotion research in cultural neuroscience highlight several aspects of emotional generation and experience that are both phylogenetically conserved as well as constructed within human cultural contexts. This review highlights theories and methods from cultural neuroscience that examine how cultural and biological processes shape emotional generation, experience and regulation across multiple time scales. Recent advances in the neurobiological basis of culture-bound syndromes, such as Hwa-Byung (fire illness), provide further novel insights into emotion and mental health across cultures. Implications of emotion research in cultural neuroscience for population health disparities in psychopathology and global mental health will be discussed.
长期以来,经典情绪理论一直在争论人类情绪在多大程度上是一种普遍的或文化建构的体验。文化神经科学领域情绪研究的最新进展突出了情绪产生和体验的几个方面,这些方面在系统发育上是保守的,同时也是在人类文化背景中构建的。本综述重点介绍了文化神经科学的理论和方法,这些理论和方法研究了文化和生物过程如何在多个时间尺度上塑造情绪的产生、体验和调节。文化束缚综合征(如“火病”)的神经生物学基础的最新进展,为跨文化的情绪和心理健康提供了进一步的新颖见解。我们将讨论文化神经科学中情绪研究对精神病理学中的人群健康差异和全球心理健康的影响。
