| Wisdom is the eternal pursuit of mankind,it is an important psychological quality which helps mankind better deal with life challenges.As a complex construct,emotional complexity is of great significance to individual’s emotional experience and social adaptation.Therefore,the research of the relation between emotion and wisdom from the perspective of emotional complexity is a surpassing,and also a new perspective in the field of wisdom and emotion research.Perspective taking refers to recognizing viewpoints,positions or emotions of other people,which helps people cope with difficult situations or resolve interpersonal conflicts,contains the characteristics of wisdom.Through three progressive studies,exploring the relations between the three variables of emotional complexity,perspective taking and wise reasoning,attempting to refine the operation of perspective taking,so as to provide a clearer and more reasonable response method to difficult interpersonal risk in life situations.Study 1 : Exploring the relationship between emotional complexity(mixed emotional experience state)and wise reasoning in life situations,using the "daily reconstruction paradigm" as the starting method for emotions and behaviors within a period of 10 days,with the help of the Chinese Positive Affect and Negative Affect Scale(C-PANAS)and the Situational Wise Reasoning Dimensional Questionnaire,recording the emotional complexity(mixed emotional experience state)and the performance of wise reasoning of 106 subjects(college students).The results showed that emotional complexity at the state level is positively correlated with intelligent reasoning.Study 2 : Through the Situational Wise Reasoning Scale(SWIS),the Perspective Taking Scale(PTS),and the Range of Discrimination and Emotional Experience Scale(RDEES),using college students as a sample,225 valid questionnaires were received to explore the relationship between the emotional complexity(trait or ability level),perspective taking and wise reasoning.The results showed that the three variables are correlated in pairs,verifying the hypothesis of study 1 again,and testing partial mediation of perspective taking in the process of emotional complexity affecting wise reasoning.Study 3 : Using experimental research methods to further explore the role of perspective taking in the process of emotional complexity affecting wise reasoning.The sample was divided into two groups.160 subjects(college students)were randomly divided into two groups.After screening and processing,the two groups of subjects were kept homogeneous,and the level of emotional complexity was measured.The perspective taking is divided into two different operations: cognitive perspective taking,emotional perspective taking.After the two operation tasks are integrated into the reconstruction task of the Situational Wise Reasoning Scale,it is explored that different perspective taking operations affect the process of wise reasoning by the emotional complexity.The results show that the operation of the two modes of adoption is effective.Cognitive perspective taking plays a partial mediation role in the process of emotional complexity affecting wise reasoning;emotional perspective taking plays a partial mediation role in the process of emotional complexity affecting wise reasoning.In general,whether emotional complexity is regarded as an emotional experience state in a real life situation or as a trait or ability to perceive different emotions,there is a significant positive correlation with wise reasoning,and perspective taking is also present with emotional complexity and wise reasoning.The emotional complexity of individuals can not only predict the performance of wise reasoning,but also indirectly influence wise reasoning,whether from the perspective of cognitive or emotional perspective. |
