A Mechanism Exploration of How Ethnocultural Empathy Fosters a Strong Sense of Community for the Chinese Nation
Ethnocultural empathy refers to the psychological process in which an individual,from the perspective of another ethnic group's culture,understands and feels the thoughts of members of those groups,and generates shared cognitive responses,emotional experiences and behavioral tendencies with members of them.Cognition,emotion and behavior form the three-dimensional logical framework in which ethnocultural empathy fosters a strong sense of the community for the Chinese nation.In the cognition dimension,the sense of the community for the Chinese nation is forged by cultivating positive intergroup attitudes and enhancing cultural identity.In the emotion dimension,the sense is forged by enhancing intergroup trust and improving the sense of self-efficacy in cross-ethnic friendship.In the behavior dimension,the sense is forged by reinforcing cooperative behaviors and promoting altruistic behaviors.Based on this understanding,to foster a strong sense of the community for the Chinese nation from the perspective of ethnocultural empathy,efforts should be made to strengthen interactions,exchanges,and integration among different ethnic groups,creating a field of ethnocultural empathy.In addition,it is important to strengthen the practice of sympathetic discourse to create an atmosphere of ethnocultural empathy.Finally,advancing research and ethnic socialization is also needed to deepen the cognition of national cultural sympathy.
