发现思维、情绪与叙事受同一计算状态约束，影响相互作用。
Metareasoning constraints couple narratives, affect and cognition
- 用大模型分析抑郁叙事结构，发现其与情绪评估因子结构一致。
- 干预叙事状态会同步改变情绪，且效果由潜在计算状态决定。
- 适用于研究心理机制、情感认知交互或临床干预设计者。
叙事和情绪塑造思维，思维也反过来影响情绪与讲述的故事。这种相互作用的机制仍不明确。我们考察了这是否源于元推理（metareasoning）——即决定思考什么——受到共享计算状态的约束。研究1（n=704）结合自报告与大语言模型量化抑郁叙事，发现叙事状态结构与正式情绪评估的因子结构高度吻合，且叙事状态扰动通过潜在计算状态对情绪产生相应影响。研究2（n=553）在真实环境中通过结构化叙事暴露测试模型预测的因果关系，结果显示叙事暴露稳定改变叙事状态，并影响即时情绪、认知与情绪反应，且这些效应可被潜在计算状态参与度预测。结果支持假设：元推理约束通过共享计算状态决定叙事、认知与情绪间的互动。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Narratives and emotions shape thoughts, and thoughts shape our feelings and stories we tell. Why narrative, affective and cognitive states interact remains unclear. We examine whether this mutual relationship reflects constraints on metareasoning - deciding what to think about - imposed by a shared computational state. Combining self-report and quantification of depression narratives using large language models, Study 1 (n=704) shows narrative state structure closely reflects the factorial structure in formal affect assessments, and that perturbation of the narrative state has commensurate effects on affect via a latent computational state. Study 2 (n=553) uses exposure to structured narratives to test model predictions causally in vivo. Narrative exposure has consistent effect on narrative states, with consequences on momentary mood, cognition, and affect. Critically, effects are predicted by latent computational state engagement. This supports the hypothesis that metareasoning constraints determine interactions between narratives, cognition and affect via a shared computational state.
