项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by candidate): There is overwhelming evidence that many of our social behaviors and complex mental processes occur without the guidance of conscious deliberation, that is, they occur "automatically," due to causes far removed from awareness (e.g., covert priming). For example, there is evidence that people automatically imitate the postures, facial expressions, and speaking styles of others, and that they automatically prepare to physically interact with objects. Recent accounts also speak of the automaticity of "higher-lever' processes, as in the unconscious evaluation of perceptual stimuli and the unconscious initiation of, and successful execution of, goal pursuit. Yet, despite the plethora of evidence, surprisingly little is known about the processes by which these various effects take place. There are simply no well-defined process models to account for these ubiquitous findings. The primary aim of the proposed studies is to arrive at a more thorough understanding of the processes that give rise to automatic social behavior. To achieve this, we will look to several models of automaticity that have proven to be successful in other domains, such as in psycholinguistics and in action-planning research. These models will be used to further develop our own "Inhibitor Model" of automaticity, and to generate new questions that research can address. By developing a clearer process model, we will be able to predict and understand the ways in which unconscious sources guide behavior. Without such a model, the mechanisms underlying automatic behavior, judgment, and goal pursuit will remain mysterious.

描述（由候选人提供）：有大量证据表明，我们许多社交行为和复杂的心理过程没有意识的指导，也就是说，由于与意识相关的原因（例如，秘密启动）。例如，有证据表明人们会自动模仿他人的姿势，面部表情和说话风格，并且他们会自动准备与对象进行物理互动。最近的记录还谈到了“高杠杆”过程的自动性，就像对感知刺激以及目标追求的无意识的启动和成功执行的无意识的启动和成功执行的无意识的评估一样。然而，尽管有很多证据，但令人惊讶的是，对于这些过程而言，这些效果不太明确地研究了这些效果。这些过程对这些效果进行了不可能的研究。对实现这一目标的自动行为的彻底理解，我们将在其他领域中成功地在其他领域，例如在心理语言学和行动计划中，这些模型将用于进一步发展我们自己的“抑制剂”模型。没有这样的模型，自动行为，判断力和目标追求的基础机制将保持神秘。
