Social feelings have conceptual and empirical connections with affect and emotion. In this review, we discuss how they relate to cognition, emotion, behavior and well-being. We examine the functional neuroanatomy and neurobiology of social feelings and their role in adaptive social functioning. Existing neuroscience literature is reviewed to identify concepts, methods and challenges that might be addressed by social feelings research. Specific topic areas highlight the influence and modulation of social feelings on interpersonal affiliation, parent-child attachments, moral sentiments, interpersonal stressors, and emotional communication. Brain regions involved in social feelings were confirmed by meta-analysis using the Neurosynth platform for large-scale, automated synthesis of functional magnetic resonance imaging data. Words that relate specifically to social feelings were identfied as potential research variables. Topical inquiries into social media behaviors, loneliness, trauma, and social sensitivity, especially with recent physical distancing for guarding public and personal health, underscored the increasing importance of social feelings for affective and second person neuroscience research with implications for brain development, physical and mental health, and lifelong adaptive functioning.
社会情感与情感和情绪在概念和经验上都有联系。在这篇综述中，我们讨论了它们与认知、情绪、行为和幸福感的关系。我们研究了社会情感的功能神经解剖学和神经生物学及其在适应性社会功能中的作用。我们回顾了现有的神经科学文献，以确定社会情感研究可能涉及的概念、方法和挑战。特定的主题领域强调了社会情感对人际关系、亲子依恋、道德情感、人际压力源和情感交流的影响和调节。使用 Neurosynth 平台对功能磁共振成像数据进行大规模、自动化综合，通过元分析确认了涉及社会情感的大脑区域。确定了与社会情感相关的特定词语作为潜在的研究变量。对社交媒体行为、孤独、创伤和社会敏感性的专题研究，尤其是最近为保护公众和个人健康而采取的社交距离措施，凸显了社会情感对情感和第二人称神经科学研究的重要性日益增加，这对大脑发育、身心健康以及终身适应性功能都有影响。
