中文摘要： 东方文化有别于西方文化的一个特征是朴素辨证论的思维方式；在自我领域，朴素辨证论的影响体现为辩证自我现象，即东方人的自我概念中包含着更多的矛盾成分。这方面已经积累了许多研究证据，不过现有研究均在行为层面展开。本课题希望将辩证自我研究拓展到大脑层面，使用新开发的辩证自我参照范式，结合核磁共振成像（fMRI）、事件相关电位（ERP）等认知神经科学技术，从脑区功能、神经联结、解剖形态和时间进程四个层面系统地刻画辩证自我加工背后的神经机制。这种考察将在大脑水平上解释辩证自我这一重要文化现象的产生原因，也为我们更深入地理解人脑是如何处理矛盾信息提供了一个新的研究范式。

英文摘要： Compared with Western cultures, one of the main characteristics of Eastern culture is its na?ve dialectism in thinking styles. In the domain of self, the consequence of na?ve dialectism is that East Asians' self-concepts are more dialectical and contain more contradiction than Westerners. Although there has been substantial amount of research on this issue, all of these examinations were conducted at behavioral-level. In this project, we want to expand the field of dialectical self into brain and neural level. By using the newly developed dialectical self-reference paradigm and neuroscience techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and event-related potentials (ERP), we aim to depict the neural mechanism underlying dialectical self-processing from four angles - - regional function, neural connectivity, anatomical characteristic and temporal characteristic. Such examinations would provide a neural explanation for the cultural difference on dialectical self-thinking, as well as deepen our understanding about how culture has been molding people's way of seeing the world and themselves
