Abstract: In daily life, people often use spatial concepts to describe moral vocabulary, such as "exemplary conduct and nobility of character".This congruency effect of space-valence has been confirmed in experiments, but it is unclear whether its internal mechanism is influenced by conceptual metaphor or polarity correspondence.Based on the classic space-valence congruency paradigm, this study controls the upward and downward movement trends and their range, and discusses the influence of body movement trends on the congruency effect of space-morality. Use e-prime2.0 to write experimental procedure. In experiment one, the subjects were required to judge the moral potency of vocabulary rendered at the top of the screen (the fixation points were at 12% of the vertical space, and the stimuli were randomly presented at 5% and 20%) or the lower of the screen (the fixation points were at 87% of the vertical space, and the stimuli were randomly presented at 80% and 95%).The experimental design included 2 (vision: upper and lower) × 2 (vertical position: upper and lower) × 2 (moral potency: moral and immoral words), and 32 undergraduates were tested in the experiment.The analysis results of repeated measurement variance show that both the top and the lower of the screen have the interaction between moral potency and vertical position. All the immoral vocabulary has the space-valence congruency effect, but the moral vocabulary has the effect only in the lower place. The moral words are influenced by polarity in the upper vision, resulting in theceiling effect. In experiment two, the fixation points were placed at the center of the screen (50% of the vertical space), the vertical distance between the upper and lower vocabulary positions was changed, and the subjects were asked to judge the moral lexical potency.Under the condition of large space, the stimuli were randomly presented in 5% and 95% of the vertical space; under the condition of small space, the stimuli were randomly presented in 45% and 55% of the vertical space.The experimental design included 2 (space: large and small) × 2 (vertical position: upper and lower) × 2 (moral potency: moral and immoral words), and 32 undergraduates were tested in the experiment.The analysis results of repeated measurement variance show that significant space-valence congruency effect occurs under the condition of small space and is influenced by conceptual metaphor.However, under the condition of large space, only the main effect of vertical position and moral potency appears. There is no interaction between moral potency and vertical position, and the congruency effect disappears. The lexical response is completely controlled by polarity correspondence. The two experiments show that the body movement trend (raise and lower head) will lead to polarity, but will not change the space-valance consistency effect of moral words.The extent of the body movement will affect the space-valance consistency effect of the moral words which only happens when the body movement is small. Big body movement will make the consistency effect disappear.The space-valance consistency effect of moral words comes from the combined effects of conceptual metaphor and polarity correlation. The polarities of body movement, vertical position, and valance have an effect on the connection of conceptual metaphors.

摘要： 在经典的空间—效价一致性范式的基础上，控制向上或向下看的动作趋向及幅度大小，探讨身体动作趋势对空间—效价一致性效应的影响。实验一分别在屏幕上方视野或下方视野进行词汇道德效价的判断。结果表明，在屏幕的上方视野和屏幕的下方视野不道德词汇都出现了空间—效价一致性效应，而道德词汇只在下方视野出现了一致性效应。实验二将注视点居于屏幕中央，改变词汇上下位置之间垂直距离的大小。发现在小间距条件下出现了显著的一致性效应，但是在大间距条件下一致性效应消失。综合两个实验表明，道德词的空间—效价一致性效应同时受到概念隐喻和极性相关的影响，当空间极性不明显时，概念隐喻的影响较大，而空间位置极性较明显时，空间位置极性会掩盖概念隐喻的作用。
