Animated movies in theaters is the Mainland of the mind team (Inside Out), is considered the magic of PIXAR's "return to work". People in this "brain hole wide open" story has seen price growth, emotional cleanse, human warmth, while also learned some knowledge of psychology, particularly evolutionary psychology. Interview Li Yushang how to deal with the new
For example, the film through the memory crystal ball, long term memory, personality, wonderful island setting, and deliver the basic ideas of evolutionary psychology: experience character; "the past" decide "now".
The Lele, worry about security and popsicles from the vivid "characters" step into "symbols" that the dangerous and perfectly human successive progression of abstract thinking (by the way pay tribute to Picasso).
Through the "dream factory" and "subconscious" interactions, the film also wasted no time in poking fun at a Mr Freud.
In the eyes of the author, and most commendable part of the film, it is noted that human so-called "negative emotions" – in the film they are worry-worry, fear, anger angry and tired of tired-of-active role. And those who promote optimism, advocating "positive energy", depending on the negative emotions as the enemy of mainstream views are not the same, it gently told the audience:
"It's OK to be sad."
Human "emotion" interpretation and understanding, is one theme in evolutionary psychology. A new approach of modern psychology research (the other two approaches to postmodern psychology and positive psychology), absorbed in cognitive neuroscience to evolutionary psychology, Sociobiology, evolutionary biology, ecology, anthropology and other disciplines of research results and methods. In their view, people through millions of years of natural selection, and an organized structure existed in its present form. Today, every living person, is a well-preserved "living fossil"; each of these basic emotions, in the history of human evolution because it solves the individual survival and reproduction-related to a specific problem.
Most influential academic branch of evolutionary psychology, in the 80 's of last century originated in United States University of California, Santa Barbara, representative figures include pink, Barash, kaosimaici, cosmides, and so on. These scholars focus human in the Pleistocene (about 1.7 million years ago to 10,000 years ago) on the African savannah faces challenges in hunting, gathering, and think that the human brain during that period by natural selection and wrote the book the emotional template constitutes the basic humanity of today, in other words, "inside the heads of our modern living a stone age brain".
For example, "shiver"/fear, is the typical problem of evolutionary psychologists speak of ideas. Related theory is that human fears and threats, physical injury and other closely related to ancestral sources. Human for snake of fear is a often was cited of example: and accident, more common of dangerous factors compared, snake in today reality life in the of risk does not high, but snake of terrorist mood meaning is more former (like a car car) more strongly, and and more with universal; not only snake itself very easy raised people of terrorist mood, and of related of image, and pictures or text also will became terrorist of induced real.
From the point of view of evolutionary psychology, snakes and hundreds of millions of years of human coexistence, is killed by snake bites and memory in the process of human evolution from generation to generation; it is this ancestral source of danger, which today still snakes have a "basic instinct" fears.
In the movie, looks about two years old Riley playfully running around at home, is the head of "fear", let her in after a slow down when connecting wires of the lamp on the table, carefully crossed from above, so as to avoid the risk of tripping or was hit by lamps. Do not know is by design or coincidence, this wire forming a "snake" shapes.
And "shiver"/fear also has "risk off" function is "tired of annoying"/disgust. Evolutionary psychology, aversion is human adaptability under stress situations such as disease, lack of resources, to resist the invasion of harmful substances and the formation of an evolved psychological mechanism, originated from the parasites, bacteria and other harmful organisms of warning and defense. For example, cross-cultural research suggests that different civilizations, feces, nails, bad meat and other items is one of the most annoying things, and it just contains a lot of parasites and bacteria.
In the movie "sick of annoying"/disgust, was a high cold, proud and venom of the villain, love roll, love from the nostrils of the air conditioner. Chapman, a psychologist of the famous "disgust" experiment, people in a poor tasting beverage, watching the discharge of photos, as well as the unfair treatment in the game will show tilt upper lip and nose wrinkled facial, severe cases may even vomit. Such emotion characterized by a nose and mouth exclusion output, is essentially the exclusion of toxic material from the body out of action, reveal human aversion based on ancient evolutionary adaptation.
It is worth mentioning that this evolved psychological mechanisms from physical disgust (for spoiled food, feces, insects, bacteria and other nasty) generalization for moral disgust, a kind of interpersonal interaction, personal antipathy towards acts that violate the social norms of the language and experience. Can predict, if the film has a sequel (get it! ) And Riley show into adolescence, "tired of annoying" function will be further enhanced, characterized by a moral, in principle the stringency.
Also associated with moral emotions and "nu nu"/anger. Such sentiments about "fairness" requirements are closely linked, the start and development of background, is from the "natural" life to "social" huge turning point in life. Because of this, people suffering from "Act of God", the general response is fear; in the face of "man-made", the common mood is anger.
When people attacks, insults and other external stimuli upon, when the will of the people was unwarranted stressed, when people get frustrated or hurt, "nu nu" bite and as depicted in the film--"nu nu" outbursts of flame spurting from head – angry when this emotional experience is usually accompanied by strong and high energy consumption behavior.
Unlike other "negative emotions", anger does not lead to circumvention, and usually attack posture, and express some willingness to take risks, at increasing costs will. In the film, when Riley was "raging anger" when the master, at the confrontation with his father, and even came up with "runaway" idea. These behaviors in adults may be a series of "stupid"; viewing, the authors noted, younger audience for "nu nu" more than anything else, his impulse when angry, little happy laugh and support of the audience applause.
So, "worry worry"/sad is what? In the film "worry worry" at the beginning is a very unpopular role was "Smiler" requires standing in the circle not out not only that, but she does not understand the value of their own, and give up. However, along with the process of the story, "worry worry" feature shows step by step. In fact, the whole plot line of the movie, is a story about a new awareness and value "worry worry" story.
In the film, "worry worry" function for the first time, is in Riley's childhood fantasy partner "popsicle" sees his car swept into the forgotten Valley of the Moon, when crying. Lele bend over backwards, all kinds of amusing and can't make popsicles up; at this point, worry worry popsicles side, patting him on the back, showing his feelings, make popsicle grief has been effectively alleviated. Here, the film touched on the "worry worry" the first function: the sad experience of catharsis.
At the climax of the film, by angry master Riley turned to run away from home, got on the bus bound for home; now her mind "disconnected", and afraid, and tired of annoying and even anger anger can't manipulate emotions. Eventually reactivated the console is "worry worry", can only be "worry worry"--as sad, is humanity's last line of Defense.
According to evolutionary psychology point of view, sadness and many other positive effects. The view was expressed that, sad for people to have better empathy and acutely aware of the pain of others; individual attention--sorrow and empathy you can think of it as "compassion" that can make people more compassionate, more inclusive, more prone to helping behaviors. Sadness has an obvious aesthetic effect: people feel pain (such as watching a tragedy) at the same time, can obtain a deeper aesthetic satisfaction and enjoyment, and sublimation of rational knowledge, improving one's spiritual realm.
In short, fear, disgust, anger, sorrow, these "negative emotions", in fact, have an important positive effect, should not (cannot) be "overcome" or "eliminate". If there is no "afraid", people will hurt; no "sick of annoying" poisoned; no "raging anger", resigned only in the unjust situation without "worry worry", and how to cope with the inevitable vicissitudes of life, waves the nu wave?
Of course, all too much: too "afraid" is a coward; "too sick of annoying" into acting guilty, too "raging anger", that is, Double Dare and too "worry worry"--that is depression. This rule also applies to "Lele"-positive energy fairies happy if there are evil is good, but once the degree is not happiness, but stupid.
Then again, evolutionary psychology is not the "truth", but only a theory. Many scholars on evolution psychology have suspected attitude, its criticism main concentrated Yu: its on psychological template of core assumed lack science according to; its "by past understanding now" of history narrative more for speculated that sex of, not has can falsification sex, so is enough science of methodology; its intends to or has no intention of to exaggerated has gene of role, and down has individual development process in the of other factors.
However, in my view, evolutionary psychology is to provide a very interesting argument; in a commercial film, these claims are already extremely rare nutrient material.
Like, fudaoer put has specific function of psychological mechanism called "template" or specific range of cognitive program, and kaosimaici had put people of psychological metaphor for a put "Switzerland saber", by different of cognitive tool Assembly and into; movie absorption and with as of has these theory, design out has mind Central of mood manipulation Taiwan, each species psychological/mood are has its control of regional, but specific range of mechanism exists does not exclusion more general meaning of mechanism exists.
Kaosimaici also noted that personal level of implementation mechanisms, it can command, monitoring, and management level of psychological mechanisms. Then, we see has film in the different of characters has different of mood main control officer: nature optimistic of Riley by "Lele" main control, she gentle and rational of mother by "worries worries" main control, Riley of father and a bit bus driver by "anger anger" main control (according to evolution psychology, male than women more easy anger), that looks is cool of female students actually is "fear fear" in main control (ass AH)...... Even cats have emotions and Wang Xingren prosecutors, Wang Xing who is, of course, "Le Le" play, and cats, its contextual memory ball is a "sick of tired of" green (it is the Queen! ）。
After watching the film audience, probably will not help asking yourself: "my emotions the prosecuting officer, and which one is it? "
