Abstract

Gervais & Fessler argue that contempt is an attitude state defined as a lack of respect that potentiates the activation and deactivation of two different clusters of emotions. However, clinical and experimental findings do not support this view. We provide evidence that contempt is not an emotion, nor an attitude, but a reactive defensive mechanism evolved to help individuals avoid shame.

摘要

热尔韦和费斯勒认为，轻蔑是一种态度状态，定义为缺乏尊重，能够激活和停用两组不同的情绪。然而，临床和实验发现并不支持这种观点。我们提供的证据表明，轻蔑不是一种情感，也不是一种态度，而是一种反应性的防御机制，有助于个体避免羞耻感。
