悲伤与亲社会行为关系的三水平元分析
The relationship between sadness and prosocial behavior:A three-level meta-analysis
摘要
Abstract
As one of the most fundamental emotional experiences in humans,the impact of sadness on prosocial behavior has long been a subject of debate in academia.Traditional perspectives often emphasize its negative effects,yet empirical findings remain inconsistent.To resolve this controversy and uncover the reasons for the divergent results,this study employed a random-effects model to conduct a three-level meta-analysis of 41 studies(70 effect sizes,total sample size=10,173)spanning nearly 50 years.The results revealed a weak but significant positive correlation between sadness and prosocial behavior(r=0.13,95%CI[0.08,0.18]).Developmental stage significantly moderated this effect,whereas factors such as gender and induction methods showed no significant influence.A p-curve analysis confirmed the genuineness of the effect,ruling out publication bias or p-hacking.This study challenges the traditional negative perception of sadness,highlighting its potential for prosocial transformation and offering new insights for emotional intervention.关键词
