ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Sara Valencia Botto - Psychologist
Sara Valencia Botto investigates when and how humans develop a concern for reputation.

Why you should listen

Sara Valencia Botto is a PhD candidate in the cognition and development program at Emory University, where she researches social-cognitive development in early childhood. Her recent publication on sensitivity to evaluation in toddlers has been featured in various outlets, including ABC News, the Huffington Post and other major international newspapers.

By exploring the developmental origins of reputation, Botto's research investigates when and how humans, unlike many other animals, care about what other people think. She designs experiments for children of 14 months to five years and studies when and how they begin to alter their behavior to garner positive evaluations from others. Her goal is to understand why humans come to care about their reputation as well as the factors that contribute to inter-individual differences.

我是个心理学家,
但我不会读心术,
00:27
although虽然 many许多 people think
that's the same相同 thing.

2372
尽管很多人认为这是一回事。
00:30
I can bet赌注 you that your response响应

这并不是一个愚蠢的巧合。
00:48
Instead代替, it reveals揭示 two
defining确定 human人的 characteristics特点.
13
36311
3897
相反,它揭示了人类的两个特征。
00:52
The first is that we are cognizant认识
of what other people value,
14
40704
3595
首先,我们知道别人看重什么,
00:56
like what they will approve批准
or disapprove不赞成 of,
15
44323
2627
比如他们会赞成或不赞成什么,

such这样 as not wearing穿着 pj'spj's
to these sorts排序 of settings设置.

比如不穿睡衣去类似的场合。
01:02
And two, we've我们已经 readily容易 used
this information信息 to guide指南 our behavior行为.

第二,我们很容易地用这些信息
来指导我们的行为。
01:07
Unlike不像 many许多 other species种类,
18
55149
1699
与许多其他物种不同,
01:08
humans人类 are prone易于 to tailor裁缝 their behavior行为
in the presence存在 of others其他

人类倾向于在他人面前
调整自己的行为,

以获得认可。
01:14
We spend valuable有价值 time putting on make up,

Clearly明确地, our concern关心
with how other people will evaluate评估 us
25
73561
3024
很明显,生活的一个重要组成部分
01:28
is a big part部分 of being存在 human人的.
26
76609
1933
就是在意他人如何评价我们。
01:31
Despite尽管 this being存在
a big human人的 trait特征, however然而,
27
79530
2690
然而,尽管这是人类的一大特点,
01:34
we know relatively相对 little
about when and how
28
82244
2770
我们对自己从何时以及如何
01:37
we come to care关心
about the opinion意见 of others其他.
29
85038
2230
开始在意他人的看法却知之甚少。
01:39
Now, this is a big question
that requires要求 many许多 studies学习.
30
87649
3200
这是一个需要很多研究的大问题。
01:43
But the first step
to uncovering揭开 this question
31
91269
2301
但是揭开这个问题的第一步,
01:45
is to investigate调查 when in development发展
32
93594
2175
是从逐渐成长的过程中调查,
01:47
we become成为 sensitive敏感
to others'其他' evaluations评估.
33
95793
2717
我们从何时对他人的评价变得敏感。
01:51
I have spent花费 the past过去 four years年份
at Emory埃默里 University大学

2880
过去四年里,我在埃默里大学
(Emory University)
01:54
investigating调查 how an infant婴儿,

2087
研究一个婴儿
01:56
who has no problem问题 walking步行
around the grocery杂货 store商店 in her onesieonesie,

是如何从一个穿着连体衣
在杂货店里走来走去的人,
02:00
develops发展 into an adult成人
that fears恐惧 public上市 speaking请讲
37
108570
2851
成长为一个因害怕负面评价,
02:03
for fear恐惧 of being存在 negatively judged判断.
38
111445
2101
而不敢在公众场合发言的成年人
(就像我)。
02:06
(Laughter笑声)
39
114472
1637
(笑声)
02:08
Now, this is usually平时 a point
when people ask me,
40
116133
2341
到这步,人们通常会问我,
02:10
"How do you investigate调查
this question, exactly究竟?
41
118498
2579
“那你是如何调查这个问题的?
02:13
Infants婴幼儿 can't talk, right?"
42
121101
1800
婴儿不是不会说话,对吧?”
02:15
Well, if my husband丈夫
were up here right now,
43
123530
2150
如果我丈夫现在在这里,
02:17
he would tell you that I interview访问 babies婴儿,
44
125704
2667
他会告诉你我在采访婴儿,
02:20
because he would rather not say
that his wife妻子 experiments实验 on children孩子.
45
128395
4432
因为他不想说他的妻子
在用孩子做实验。
02:24
(Laughter笑声)
46
132851
2552
(笑声)
02:27
In reality现实, I design设计
experiments实验 for children孩子,
47
135427
3231
其实,我为孩子们设计的实验,
02:30
usually平时 in the form形成 of games游戏.
48
138682
1934
通常是以游戏的形式。
02:33
Developmental发展的 psychologist心理学家
Dr博士. Philippe菲利普 Rochat罗查特 and I
49
141269
2745
发展心理学家
菲利普·罗查特博士和我,
02:36
designed设计 a "game游戏" called "The Robot机器人 Task任务"
50
144038
3111
设计了一个名为
“机器人任务”的“游戏”,
02:39
to explore探索 when children孩子
would begin开始 to be sensitive敏感
51
147173
2643
用以探索孩子们什么时候开始
02:41
to the evaluation评测 of others其他.
52
149840
1867
对他人的评价变得敏感。
02:44
Specifically特别, the robot机器人 task任务
captures捕获 when children孩子, like adults成年人,
53
152442
4492
具体来说,这个实验用来发现
什么时候孩子们,会像成年人一样,
02:48
strategically战略性 modify修改 their behavior行为
when others其他 are watching观看.
54
156958
3135
在别人观看的时候战略性地
改变他们的行为。
02:53
To do this, we showed显示
14 to 24-month-old个月大 infants婴儿
55
161030
3214
为了做到这一点,
我们向 14 到 24 个月大的婴儿
02:56
how to activate启用 a toy玩具 robot机器人,
56
164268
2175
演示了如何激活一个玩具机器人,
02:58
and importantly重要的, we either
assigned分配 a positive value,
57
166467
2483
重要的是,我们要么给一个正反馈,
03:00
saying "Wow, isn't that great!"
58
168974
2246
说,“哇,真棒!”
03:03
or a negative value, saying,
"Oh, oh. Oops哎呀, oh no,"
59
171244
2674
要么给一个负反馈,
说,“哦,噢。天哪,不,”
03:05
after pressing紧迫 the remote远程.
60
173942
1734
当按下遥控器的时候。
03:08
Following以下 this toy玩具 demonstration示范,
61
176220
1577
在这个玩具演示之后,
03:09
we invited邀请 the infants婴儿
to play with the remote远程,
62
177821
2548
我们邀请婴儿玩遥控器,
03:12
and then either watched看着 them
63
180393
1422
然后要么看着他们,
03:13
or turned转身 around and pretended假装的
to read a magazine杂志.
64
181839
2817
要么转过身假装在看杂志。
03:17
The idea理念 was that if by 24 months个月,
65
185212
2429
这个想法是,
如果在 24 个月大的时候,
03:19
children孩子 are indeed确实 sensitive敏感
to the evaluation评测 of others其他,
66
187665
3277
孩子们确实对他人的评价敏感,
03:22
then their button-pressing按键 behavior行为
should be influenced影响
67
190966
2675
那么他们按按钮的行为
03:25
not only by whether是否 or not
they're being存在 watched看着
68
193665
2381
不仅会受到是否被观察的影响,
03:28
but also by the values
that the experimenter实验者 expressed表达
69
196070
2690
还会受到实验者对按遥控器所表达的
03:30
towards pressing紧迫 the remote远程.
70
198784
1625
反馈的影响。
03:33
So for example,
71
201173
1206
例如,
03:34
we would expect期望 children孩子 to play with
the positive remote远程 significantly显著 more
72
202403
3628
我们发现孩子们在被观察的情况下
03:38
if they were being存在 observed观察到的
73
206055
1365
玩积极的遥控器玩得更多,
03:39
but then choose选择 to explore探索
the negative remote远程
74
207444
2143
但是一旦没有人看,他们就会
03:41
once一旦 no one was watching观看.
75
209611
1667
选择探索消极的遥控器。
03:43
To really capture捕获 this phenomenon现象,
we did three variations变化 of the study研究.
76
211952
3460
为了深入了解这一现象,
我们设计了三种不同的条件。
03:47
Study研究 one explored探讨 how infants婴儿
would engage从事 with a novel小说 toy玩具
77
215871
3349
第一项研究探讨了
如果没有反馈或指令,
03:51
if there were no values
or instructions说明 provided提供.
78
219244
2603
婴儿将如何尝试新玩具。
03:53
So we simply只是 showed显示 infants婴儿
how to activate启用 the toy玩具 robot机器人,
79
221871
2730
我们只是简单地
向婴儿展示如何激活玩具机器人,
03:56
but didn't assign分配 any values,
80
224625
1587
但没有给他们任何反馈,
03:58
and we also didn't tell them
that they could play with the remote远程,
81
226236
3111
我们也没有告诉他们可以玩遥控器,
04:01
providing提供 them with a really
ambiguous暧昧 situation情况.
82
229371
2563
这给他们提供了一个非常模糊的情况。
04:03
In study研究 two,
83
231958
1183
第二项研究中,
04:05
we incorporated合并 the two values,
a positive and a negative.
84
233165
4595
我们将两个反馈放在一起测试,
一个是正的,一个是负的。
04:10
And in the last study研究,
we had two experimenters实验者 and one remote远程.
85
238609
3269
在最后一项研究中,
我们有两个实验者和一个遥控器。
04:14
One experimenter实验者 expressed表达 a negative
value towards pressing紧迫 the remote远程,
86
242196
3429
一名实验者对按遥控器的行为
表现出消极,
04:17
saying, "Yuck, the toy玩具 moved移动,"
87
245649
1507
说:“哎呀,玩具动了”。
04:19
while the other experimenter实验者
expressed表达 a positive value, saying,
88
247180
3017
而另一名实验者
则表现出积极的反馈,
说,“耶,玩具动了”。
04:22
"Yay好极了, the toy玩具 moved移动."
89
250221
1400
04:23
And this is how the children孩子 reacted反应
to these three different不同 scenarios场景.
90
251927
3531
以下是孩子们
对这三个不同的场景的反应。
04:27
So in study研究 one, the ambiguous暧昧 situation情况,
91
255482
2840
在研究一,在这个模糊不清的情境中,
04:30
I'm currently目前 watching观看 the child儿童.
92
258346
2411
我正在观察这个孩子。
04:32
She doesn't seem似乎 to be too interested有兴趣
in pressing紧迫 the remote远程.
93
260781
2999
她似乎对按遥控器不太感兴趣。
04:36
Once一旦 I turned转身 around --
94
264622
1669
我一转身,
04:39
now she's ready准备 to play.
95
267061
1611
她就准备好要去按遥控器了。
04:40
(Laughter笑声)
96
268696
1150
(笑声)
04:43
Currently目前, I'm not watching观看 the child儿童.
97
271903
1910
目前,我没有在注视这个孩子。
04:45
She's really focused重点.
98
273837
1151
她真的很专注。
04:47
I turn around.
99
275012
1150
我转过身来了。
04:49
(Laughter笑声)
100
277588
1032
(笑声)
04:50
She wasn't doing anything, right?
101
278644
2200
她什么都没做,对吧?
04:55
In study研究 two, it's the two remotes遥控器,
102
283596
1751
在研究二中,是两个遥控器,
04:57
one with the positive
and one with the negative value.
103
285371
2547
一个带着积极的评价,
一个带着消极的评价。
04:59
I'm currently目前 observing观察 the child儿童.
104
287942
1667
我正在观察这个孩子。
05:01
And the orange橙子 remote远程
is a negative remote远程.
105
289633
2506
橙色的遥控器是消极的。
05:05
She's just looking around,
looking at me, hanging out.
106
293259
2793
她只是环顾四周,
看着我,在外面闲逛。
05:08
Then I turn around ...
107
296494
1267
然后我转身……
05:12
(Laughter笑声)
108
300081
1150
(笑声)
05:15
That's what she's going for.
109
303072
1867
这就是她想要的。
05:19
I'm not watching观看 the child儿童.
110
307875
1537
我没在看孩子。
05:21
He wants the mom妈妈 to play with it, right?
111
309436
2244
他想让妈妈陪他玩,对吧?
05:23
Take a safer更安全 route路线.
112
311704
1267
真是安全的选择。
05:25
I turn around ...
113
313736
1150
我回头……
05:28
(Laughter笑声)
114
316093
1667
(笑声)
05:29
He wasn't doing anything, either.
115
317784
2200
他也什么都没做。
05:36
Yeah, he feels感觉 awkward尴尬.
116
324371
1532
是啊,他觉得很尴尬。
05:37
(Laughter笑声)
117
325927
1007
(笑声)
05:38
Everyone大家 knows知道
that side-eyed侧眼 glance一瞥, right?
118
326958
2119
每个人都看到那侧眼一瞥,对吧?
05:41
Study研究 three, the two
experimenters实验者, one remote远程.
119
329807
2461
研究三,两个实验者和一个遥控器。
05:44
The experimenter实验者 that reacted反应 negatively
towards pressing紧迫 the remote远程
120
332292
3261
实验者看着孩子时,
05:47
is watching观看 the child儿童 right now.
121
335577
1627
对按遥控器表现出消极的态度。
05:49
She feels感觉 a little awkward尴尬,
doesn't know what to do, relying依托 on Mom妈妈.
122
337228
4174
她觉得有点尴尬,
不知道该怎么办,全靠妈妈。
05:56
And then, she's going to turn around
123
344307
2421
然后,她会转过身来让
05:58
so that the experimenter实验者 that expressed表达
a positive response响应 is watching观看.
124
346752
3467
表现出积极反应的实验者看着她。
06:04
Coast is clear明确 -- now she's ready准备 to play.
125
352109
2230
危险已经过去——
现在她准备好要玩了。
06:06
(Laughter笑声)
126
354363
1063
(笑声)
06:07
So, as the data数据 suggests提示,
127
355450
1905
因此,正如数据显示的那样,
06:09
we found发现 that children's儿童
button-pressing按键 behavior行为
128
357379
2333
我们发现孩子们按按钮的行为
06:11
was indeed确实 influenced影响 by the values
and the instructions说明 of the experimenter实验者.
129
359736
4809
确实受到了实验者的
反馈和指示的影响。
06:16
Because in study研究 one,
children孩子 did not know
130
364934
2541
因为在第一项研究中,孩子们不知道
06:19
what would be positively积极
or negatively evaluated评估,
131
367499
2888
什么是正面评价,什么是负面评价,
06:22
they tended往往 to take the safest最安全 route路线
132
370411
1944
他们倾向于选择最安全的路径,
06:24
and wait until直到 I turned转身 my back
to press the remote远程.
133
372379
2680
他们等到我转过身再去按遥控器。
06:27
Children孩子 in study研究 two
134
375083
1388
研究二的孩子们,
06:28
chose选择 to press the positive remote远程
significantly显著 more when I was watching观看,
135
376495
3802
在我看着的时候,
明显更愿意按积极的遥控器,
06:32
but then once一旦 I turned转身 my back,
136
380321
1571
但当我一转身,
06:33
they immediately立即 took the negative remote远程
and started开始 playing播放 with it.
137
381916
3423
他们立刻拿起消极的遥控器开始玩。
06:37
Importantly重要的, in a control控制 study研究,
138
385363
1590
重要的是,在一项对照研究中,
06:38
where we removed去除

和表现出消极价值的实验者时,
07:03
as opposed反对 to the experimenter实验者
that had expressed表达 a negative value.
147
411538
3267
会明显地更多地按遥控器。
07:07
Not coincidentally巧合,
148
415553

So what can we say,
based基于 on these findings发现?
155
431277

基于这些发现,
我们能说些什么呢?
07:26
Besides除了 the fact事实 that babies婴儿

(笑声)
07:30
From very early on, children孩子, like adults成年人,
158
438905
3293
从很小的时候起,
孩子就像成年人一样,
07:34
are sensitive敏感 to the values
that we place地点 on objects对象 and behaviors行为.
159
442222
3727

to guide指南 their behavior行为.
160
446354
3277
重要的是,他们用这些
反馈来指导他们的行为。
07:42
Whether是否 we're aware知道的 of it or not,
161
450425

无论我们意识到与否,
07:44
we're constantly经常 communicating通信 values
to those around us.
162

3010
我们都在不断地
与周围的人交流观念。

或“不偷窃”之类的想法,
07:51

我的意思是,我们不断地向他人,
尤其是我们的孩子,
07:57
what is likeable可爱, valuable有价值
and praiseworthy值得 称赞, and what is not.
166
465077
3682
展示什么是可爱的、有价值的、
值得称赞的,或者什么不是。
08:01
And a lot of the times,
167
469307

08:02
we actually其实 do this
without even noticing注意到 it.
168
470507
2436
我们这样做时,甚至都没有注意到。
08:05
Psychologists心理学家 study研究 behavior行为
to explore探索 the contents内容 of the mind心神,
169
473601
3848
心理学家研究行为是为了探索内心,
08:09
because our behavior行为
often经常 reflects反映 our beliefs信仰,
170
477473
2930

往往反映了我们的信念、
08:12
our values and our desires欲望.

可口可乐比百事可乐好。
08:20
(Applause掌声)
174
488725
1794
(掌声)
08:22
Now, this might威力 have to do with the fact事实
that Coke可乐 was invented发明 in Atlanta亚特兰大.
175
490543
4740
这可能与可口可乐
诞生于亚特兰大有关。
08:27
But regardless而不管,
176
495307
1174
但无论如何,
08:28
this belief信仰 is expressed表达 in the fact事实
that most people will chose选择 to drink Coke可乐.
177
496505
4287
大多数人会选择喝可乐
这一事实表明了这一信念。
08:33
In the same相同 way,
178
501323
1372
同样地,
当我们赞美女孩时,
08:34
we are communicating通信 a value
179
502719
1868
大多数时候我们会赞美
她们漂亮的发型或裙子,
08:36
when we mostly大多 complement补充 girls女孩
180
504611
1523
08:38
for their pretty漂亮 hair头发
or their pretty漂亮 dress连衣裙,
181
506158
2506
我们也在传达一种价值观,
08:40
but boys男孩, for their intelligence情报.
182
508688
2389
但是赞美男孩时却
会称赞他们的聪明才智,
08:43
Or when we chose选择 to offer提供 candy糖果,
as opposed反对 to nutritious有营养 food餐饮,
183
511101
3743
或者当我们选择用糖果,
而不是有营养的食物
08:46
as a reward奖励 for good behavior行为.
184
514868
2030
作为表现好时的奖励。
08:49
Adults成人 and children孩子
are incredibly令人难以置信 effective有效
185
517466
2742
成年人和儿童都能非常有效地
08:52
at picking选择 up values
from these subtle微妙 behaviors行为.
186
520232
2495
从这些细微的行为中
获取其中的观念。
08:55
And in turn, this ends结束 up
shaping成型 their own拥有 behavior行为.
187
523061
3505
反过来,这最终塑造了
他们自己的行为。
08:59
The research研究 I have shared共享 with you today今天
188
527196
2238
今天我和大家分享的研究表明,
09:01
suggests提示 that this ability能力
emerges出现 very early in development发展,
189
529458
3540
表面这种能力
在我们成长的早期就形成了,
09:05
before we can even utter说出
a complete完成 sentence句子
190
533022
2055
早在我们还没能
说出一个完整的句子之前,
09:07
or are even potty-trained便盆训练.
191
535101
1541
甚至在我们还没
受过上厕所的训练之前,
09:09
And it becomes an integral积分 part部分
of who we grow增长 up to be.
192
537014
3285
它成为我们成长过程中
不可或缺的一部分。
09:12
So before I go,
193
540942
1556
在我结束之前,
09:14
I'd like to invite邀请 you
to contemplate沉思 on the values
194
542522
2873
我想请你们思考一下,
09:17
that we broadcast广播
in day-to-day日复一日 interactions互动,
195
545419
2400
我们在日常交流中应用的价值观,
09:20
and how these values might威力 be shaping成型
the behavior行为 of those around you.
196
548125
3628
以及这些价值观是
如何塑造你周围人的行为的。
09:24
For example, what value
is being存在 broadcasted播出
197
552222
3075
例如,当我们花更多的时间
09:27
when we spend more time
smiling微笑 at our phone电话
198
555321
2743
对着手机傻笑,
09:30
than smiling微笑 with other people?
199
558088
1656
而不是对别人微笑时,
我们在传播怎样的价值取向?
09:32
Likewise同样, consider考虑 how your own拥有 behavior行为
has been shaped成形 by those around you,
200
560683
3955
同样,考虑一下你自己的行为是
如何被你周围的人塑造的,
09:36
in ways方法 you might威力 not
have considered考虑 before.
201
564662
2398
以你以前可能没有考虑过的方式。
09:39
To go back to our simple简单 illustration插图,
202
567543
2087
回到我们简单的例子,
09:41
do you really prefer比较喜欢 Coke可乐 over Pepsi百事可乐?
203
569654
2372
相比百事可乐,
你真的更喜欢可口可乐吗?
09:44
Or was this preference偏爱 simply只是 driven驱动
by what others其他 around you valued价值?
204
572050
3466
或者这种偏好仅仅是
因为旁人的观点对你的影响?
09:48
Parents父母 and teachers教师
certainly当然 have the privilege特权
205
576461
2754
父母和老师当然有权
09:51
to shape形状 children's儿童 behavior行为.
206
579239
1934
去塑造孩子们的行为。
09:53
But it is important重要 to remember记得
207
581977
2191
但重要的是要记住,
09:56
that through通过 the values we convey传达
in simple简单 day-to-day日复一日 interactions互动,
208
584192
4259
通过我们在日常简单
互动中传达的价值观,
10:00
we all have the power功率 to shape形状
the behavior行为 of those around us.
209
588475
3404
都能潜移默化地
影响你身边人的行为。
10:04

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Sara Valencia Botto - Psychologist
Sara Valencia Botto investigates when and how humans develop a concern for reputation.

Why you should listen

Sara Valencia Botto is a PhD candidate in the cognition and development program at Emory University, where she researches social-cognitive development in early childhood. Her recent publication on sensitivity to evaluation in toddlers has been featured in various outlets, including ABC News, the Huffington Post and other major international newspapers.

By exploring the developmental origins of reputation, Botto's research investigates when and how humans, unlike many other animals, care about what other people think. She designs experiments for children of 14 months to five years and studies when and how they begin to alter their behavior to garner positive evaluations from others. Her goal is to understand why humans come to care about their reputation as well as the factors that contribute to inter-individual differences.
