Social neuroscience has documented cultural differences in emotional brain functioning. Most recently, these differences have been extended to include cultural effects on the real-time neural correlates of social-emotional feelings. Here we review these findings and use them to illustrate a biopsychosocial framework for studying acculturated social-affective functioning and development. We argue that understanding cultural differences in emotion neurobiology requires probing their social origins and connection with individuals' subjective, lived experiences. We suggest that an interdisciplinary, developmental perspective would advance scientific understanding by enabling the invention of protocols aligning neurobiological measures with techniques for documenting cultural contexts, social relationships and subjective experiences. Such work would also facilitate insights in applied fields struggling to accommodate cultural variation, such as psychiatry and education.
社会神经科学已经记录了情感大脑功能方面的文化差异。最近,这些差异已经扩展到包括文化对社会情感感受的实时神经相关物的影响。在这里,我们回顾这些发现,并利用它们来说明一个用于研究文化适应的社会情感功能和发展的生物心理社会框架。我们认为,要理解情感神经生物学方面的文化差异,需要探究其社会起源及其与个体主观生活经历的联系。我们建议,跨学科的发展视角将通过发明使神经生物学测量与记录文化背景、社会关系和主观经验的技术相匹配的方案来促进科学理解。这样的工作也将有助于解决适应文化差异的问题,如精神病学和教育学等领域。
