推薦序

—— 廣告導演 Kurt盧建彰 

  選擇做廣告,是因為我不想每天上班。沒想到,搞錯了,是沒有下班。

  剛進這行時,我發現一切都很難,你得把自己放到臺子上,給一堆準備砍你頭的人看,那是非常恐怖的事,尤其當你是個菜鳥,菜得根本什麼都不懂,而且還不是廣告科系的,什麼都不懂,最可怕的是,廣告會議都是總經理、董事長和總裁會來開的,大概那差距就是你剛開始學投籃卻要跟姚明打籃球,怎麼不發抖?

  我怎麼辦?難道不提案嗎?

  後來有個前輩鼓勵我:「你在這主題上花了扎實的兩個禮拜思考,你就是這主題的專家,那些董事長進會議室後還要問這是要開哪個會,不要怕!」

  於是,我就這樣告訴自己,就算我不是廣告創意大師,但我是廣告專業人士。於是,我做出我的第一個廣告,也是周杰倫的第一個廣告。

  之後,當我是文案,就要做得像資深文案;當我是資深文案,就要做得像文案指導;當我是文案指導,就想我要做得像副創意總監;當我是副創意總監,就要做得像創意總監。

  這是我師父教我的思考,以拳擊手而言,就是,蠅量級挑戰羽量級,羽量級挑戰輕量級,輕量級挑戰重量級,這叫做越級挑戰。

  我當創意總監的時候,同時也拍片,也教書。

  我當導演的時候,嗯,你知道的,我什麼都亂做,因為我搞不清楚什麼能做(嗯,嚴格說來,是什麼不能做)。

  你假裝你是下個層級的,好處是你不會鼻青臉腫,因為你不會真的捱打,你只是調整你的思考速度和創意的視野,你沒有會傷害你的對手,你就算打輸了也沒人知道,因為從你這個量級的人的角度看,你出拳快得嚇人。

  你創造的作品就算上不了下個等級,也會變成是這個等級的上上之品,那還有什麼好怕的呢?

  你什麼都不必多做,

  你只是讓你的能力因為上的擂臺而被激發出來。

  我沒想到,就這樣過了十六年,我就這樣假裝,騙自己,騙吃騙喝了那麼長一段時間。

  我也沒想到,原以為是我師父的獨門絕招,結果,竟然有人專門研究,而且是如此專精細膩的研究,從心理學,從非語言行為科學,從她自己的車禍腦傷,是的,她的悲劇,竟成為我們的祝福,甚至影響了一個半臺灣的人口數。

  天啊,都講成這樣了,你還不看,那我覺得你才是最貶抑你自己的人。

  那就算了,我要去假裝我很會了,掰掰。

前言

  

  

  我喜歡坐在波士頓書店的咖啡區吧檯,開著筆記型電腦寫稿。十分鐘前我點了咖啡和馬芬蛋糕。服務生是一位笑容滿面、戴著眼鏡的黑髮女孩。她停頓了一下,然後悄悄地對我說:「我只是想跟妳說,妳的TED演講對我來說意義重大,讓我大受激勵。幾年前,我有一門課的教授分享了那段影片。我目前正在申請醫學院,我想跟妳說,參加醫學院入學測驗之前,我站在浴室裡假裝自己是神力女超人,那招果真有效。雖然妳不認識我,卻幫我找出自己人生真正想做的事,那就是念醫學院。而妳幫了我,謝謝妳。」

  我不禁熱淚盈眶,問她:「妳叫什麼名字?」

  「費塔茵。」然後我們又聊了大約十分鐘,聊到費塔茵過去的困境,以及她對未來剛萌生的振奮之情。

  每個上前找我的人都很獨特、很令人難忘,不過這類互動發生得比我想像更頻繁:陌生人親切地跟我打招呼,告訴我他們已經成功克服某個挑戰,然後感謝我幫助他們。這些人有男有女,有老有少、有內向害羞、也有外向合群,有窮人、也有富人。而他們的共通之處是——他們都在面對強大壓力與焦慮時感到無助,而他們也都找到了一個異常簡單的方法,把自己從無助中解放,至少在事發當下是如此。

  大多數作家的經驗是書先出版,然後才收到讀者回應,而我的經驗卻是反過來。我先是做了一系列的實驗,促成我到二○一二年TED全球會議上演講。在演講中,我探討了一系列耐人尋味的研究發現,主題是「我們的身體如何影響我們的大腦與行為」。(我就是在那裡描述了費塔茵所提,浴室裡的神力女超人,在後文我會做解釋;那動作可以在我們面對挑戰情境時,快速增進我們的自信,降低我們的焦慮。)我也分享了我如何跟自己的「冒牌者症候群」(impostor syndrome)奮戰,以及我怎麼「騙過自己」,讓自己感到很有自信,最後轉變成真的有自信。我稱這種現象為「假裝到你真的變成那樣」(順便一提,在演講時,我談到自己的掙扎,那部分完全不在計畫之內;稿子裡沒這段,因為我並不認為自己膽敢在幾百個我不認識的聽眾面前,透露這麼私人的事⋯⋯)雖然我對這主題深有同感,但我並不知道它是否能引起大家的迴響。沒想到那段二十一分鐘的影片上線後,我就開始陸續聽到很多人說自己已經看過了。

  當然聽我的演說,不會神奇地賦予費塔茵考好醫學院入學測驗所需要的知識。她並沒有因此更深入理解平滑型菌株與粗糙型菌株的不同特徵,或者瞭解能量定理與動能變化的關聯是怎麼運作的。不過,這演說也許釋放了恐懼,無礙她展現所學。因為無權力感(powerlessness)會吞噬我們,以及我們所相信、理解與感受到的所有事。它會掩蓋了我們的本質,讓我們隱形,甚至讓我們跟自己疏離。

  無權力感的相反,必定是「擁有權力」,是嗎?某種程度來說是的,不過事情沒那麼簡單。我多年來所做的研究(現在隸屬於一個龐大的研究領域)專門探索一種我稱為「展現最佳狀態」(presence)的特質。展現最佳狀態是從相信、信任自己而來的——包含你真切、誠實的感受,你的價值與能力。這很重要,因為如果連你都不相信自己,要別人怎麼信任你?不管是在兩個人或五千人面前演說、面談一份工作、爭取加薪、或者向潛在投資者提案某項商業計畫、為自己發言、或替別人說話,我們都會面臨令人膽怯的片刻,那種時候若想自我感覺良好或為自己人生做出進展,就必須保持鎮定。展現最佳狀態賦予我們力量,挺身面對這些時刻。

  

  

  

  

  醫生判我腦部受損,最後仍名校畢業,怎麼辦到?

  我印象最深的是朋友在白板上為我留下的卡通圖畫與愛心留言。那時我大二,在醫院病房醒來,望了四周一圈,全是卡片和花。我全身無力,同時卻又焦急又激動。我幾乎睜不開眼,這種狀況從來沒發生過。我不知發生什麼事,但還沒力氣搞清楚就睡著了。

  這狀況一直重複。

  至於在醫院醒來之前的事,我記得清楚的只有我跟兩位好友以及室友一起,要從蒙大拿州(Montana)的密蘇拉(Missoula)回到科羅拉多州(Colorado)的波德(Boulder)。我們到密蘇拉是去協助蒙大拿大學的學生籌辦研討會,並拜訪朋友。我們在週日傍晚大約六點時,從密蘇拉離開,我們想要趕回波德上早晨的課。現在回想起來,特別是以為人父母的身分,可以看出這舉動有多麼愚蠢,因為密蘇拉到波德開車要十三到十四小時;不過當時我們才十九歲。

  我們有個自認為絕佳的計畫:每個人輪流開三分之一的路程;有個人要撐住,負責讓駕駛保持清醒與警覺,而另一個人則可在越野休旅車後座,攤平座椅,裹著睡袋休息。我開過一輪,我想是第一個班次,然後保持清醒,監督駕駛。那真是一段輕柔的記憶,非常平靜。我愛身旁這些人,也愛西部的壯闊,還有渺無人煙的曠野。高速公路上不開前照燈也沒關係,路上只有我們,然後就換我到後座睡覺。

  接下來發生的這些事,是我事後才知道。我的朋友在最糟的那個時段開車,深夜裡你會感到,自己可能是世上唯一清醒的人的那種時刻。不只是在深夜,而且是身處在懷俄明州(Wyoming)深處的深夜。很黑,很廣,很孤寂。幾乎沒有什麼能讓你保持清醒。大約清晨四點時,我的朋友開車衝出了路面,一撞上路肩崎嶇的減速標線,她回轉過大,以至於車子翻轉了好幾圈,最後四輪朝天停住。前座兩位朋友繫了安全帶,攤平在後座正在睡覺的我,被彈出車外摔進黑夜中,我頭部右上方著地,跌撞在高速公路上,身體其他部位還在睡袋中。

  我腦部遭受嚴重創傷。更具體地說,是一種「瀰漫性軸索損傷」(diffuse axonal injury,
DAI),DAI指的是,大腦遭「剪力」所傷,通常是嚴重的旋轉所致,而車禍很常會產生這種旋轉。想像高速行駛的車發生衝撞會有的情況:在衝擊之下,速度瞬間驟變,你的身體突然靜止,而大腦卻還在移動,有時是在頭顱內不尋常地轉動,甚至在頭顱內撞來撞去。我頭部撞上高速公路的力道弄斷了頭骨。

  大腦本應待在安全的地方,外有頭骨保護,還有幾層薄膜(稱為「腦膜」)與腦脊液做為軟墊。大腦與頭骨雖是好夥伴,但卻不應該如此親密接觸。腦部重創的剪力,損壞並拉扯整個腦部的神經與其纖維(稱為「軸突」)。就像電線一樣,軸突表面有一層防護塗層做絕緣(或說緩衝)稱為「髓鞘」。即便軸突沒有受創,光是損及髓鞘也會讓神經間的訊息傳導速度陡降。

  DAI是指腦部整體受創,這和單點式的腦部傷害(比如槍傷),只有特定部位遭受損傷是不同的。大腦的運作全仰賴神經的傳輸;當整個腦部神經受損,傳輸不免也會受到破壞。所以當你受的傷屬於DAI,沒有醫生會告訴你:「是這樣的,損傷在運動部位,所以你行動會比較困難。」或者:「損傷在語言區,你想要說話或說話過程會受阻。」他們不會告訴你,你能否康復、能康復到什麼程度、或者大腦哪個功能會受影響:你的記憶力會喪失?還是你的情緒?你的空間概念?你細微的運動技能?由於我們對DAI瞭解還不多,醫生能提供精確預後的可能性也很渺茫。

  遭受DAI之後,你會完全變成另一個人,很多方面都如此。你怎麼思考、你的感受、你的表達方式、回應、互動——所有面向都會受到影響。除此之外,你對自己的理解能力可能也受到威脅,因此你處於一種並不清楚自己究竟改變多大的狀態中。而且沒有人,沒有任何人,可以告訴你,接下來會怎樣。

  現在我來解釋一下,就我當時所能理解,我的大腦究竟發生了什麼事(請搭配蟋蟀鳴音效聲):

  我當時在醫院,已經從大學休學,醫生對於我的認知協調是否能恢復到可重返校園,抱持強烈懷疑。根據我受傷的嚴重程度以及類似損傷者的統計,他們說:「別期望能唸完大學。妳會沒事的,大腦『能有效運作』,不過妳該考慮去做別的事。」我得知自己的智商下滑了三十分,低了兩個標準差。我會知道這個,不是因為醫生告訴我。我知道是因為他們為我做了為期兩天的一系列神經心理測驗,而智商是其中一項,我收到的那份長長的報告當中包含了這個結果;醫生並不認為跟我解釋這個有什麼重要,或者他們覺得我沒有聰明到能理解?我不想把智商看得太重,我不是說它具有預測人生成就的能力。不過,那是當時我認為能夠量化了我才能的指標。所以就我的理解,根據醫生的說法,我已經不再是聰明人,而我感覺這說法完全沒錯。

  我接受了職能治療、認知治療、語言治療、物理治療、心理諮商。大約在意外發生的六個月之後,我在家度過了夏天,幾位很明顯疏離了的密友告訴我:「妳跟以前就是不一樣了。」何以兩位似乎最瞭解我的朋友都說我已經不是原來的我?怎樣不同?她們看不見真正的我,連我都看不見自己。

  腦部創傷讓人感覺迷惑、焦躁,而且挫敗。當醫生告訴妳,他們也不知道妳未來會怎樣,朋友都說妳變了,肯定又放大了那些迷惑、焦躁與挫敗感。

  接下來的一年,我都身在迷霧中——焦慮不安,失去方向,做些爛決定,不知道下一步要做什麼。在那之後,我回到學校。但我太快回去了,我無法思考,無法適切地理解別人說的事。那就像聽人說話時,對方一半用我聽得懂的語言,一半是我不懂的語言說話一樣。那隻讓我更挫折、更焦慮。我必須休學,因為我的課業都不及格。

  在這場車禍中,雖然我斷了些骨頭,多了些醜傷疤,不過身體看起來完整無缺。而因為腦部通常別人看不見,大家會說一些話像是:

  「哇,妳好幸運!妳很可能會沒命呢!」

  「幸運?」我心想。然後又對自己因他們好意的說法而受挫,感到又罪惡又羞愧。

  我們的思考方式、智力、個人特質,這些都是我們認為不會改變的事,我們覺得理當如此。我們害怕車禍會導致我們癱瘓,改變我們的行動能力,或者使我們失聰或失明,但我們沒想過車禍會讓我們失去自我。

  頭部受傷後好幾年,我都在努力超越先前的自己,雖然我不太知道先前的我是什麼模樣。我覺得自己是個冒牌貨,一個藏在我自己身體裡的冒牌貨。我要重新學著怎麼學習。我一直設法重回學校,因為我不能接受別人告訴我說我做不到。

  我必須努力用功趕上別人,緩慢地跟上。最後我的心理狀態慢慢恢復清明,這讓我無可言喻地鬆了口氣。我比車禍之前那些同班同學晚了四年畢業。

  而讓我堅持下去的原因之一是我發現了自己喜歡的科目——心理學。大學畢業後,我順利進入一個需要腦部功能正常運作的專業。如同法國小說家阿納託爾·法朗士(Anatole France)所寫的:「所有改變⋯⋯都有令人感傷之處;因為我們所拋下的是自己的一部分;我們必須結束一個人生,才會進入另一個人生。」這一路以來,不意外地,我變成一個十分關切「人的存在狀態」與「力量」、「自信」與「懷疑」這些問題的人。

  我受的傷,引領我去研究「展現最佳狀態」的科學,不過我的TED演講卻讓我體會到,那是多麼普世的渴求。因為大多數人每天都在面對挑戰。在世界各個角落,過著各種不同生活的人,都在努力鼓起勇氣在課堂上發言、面試工作、為爭取一個角色試鏡、與日常的艱困奮戰、為自己相信的真理挺身而出、或者只想心安理得做自己。不論是無家可歸的人,或者在傳統標準裡極其成功之士都如此。財星五百大企業高階主管、打贏官司的律師、才華洋溢的藝術家或表演工作者、霸凌、歧視及性騷擾受害人、政治難民、與心理疾病奮戰的人或遭受重大創傷的人,全都是一樣的;所有人都面對這種挑戰。還有所有努力從旁協助的人也需面臨挑戰,不管是父母、配偶、孩子、諮商師、醫生、同事、以及他們的朋友。

  這些人(絕大多數都不是科學家)迫使我用新的眼光看待自己的研究:他們把我帶離科學,同時又帶進科學中。聆聽他們的故事,我感到自己有責任去思索社會科學的研究成果,實際上能怎麼在真實世界裡運作。我開始專注去做能正面影響人生的研究。不過我也開始遭遇一些,如果留在實驗室或沉浸在學術中,不會碰到的問題。

  一開始我對TED演講的回應不知所措,而且覺得公開自己的研究與私事真是大錯特錯。我沒料到會有這麼多陌生人看到它,沒想到自己會感到如此脆弱與暴露。任何在網路崛起並瞬間家喻戶曉的人,都有過這種感覺。在公開場合會開始有人認出妳來,那需要一些自我調整來適應;無論是陌生人請我站成「神力女超人」的姿勢跟她們一起自拍,或者聽到有人從人力三輪車上(在奧斯汀市發生過)喊道:「嘿!是那TED演講的女生耶!」

  不過多數時候我感到無比幸運,慶幸自己有機會跟這麼多人分享這項研究以及我的故事。更幸運的是有這麼多人跟我分享他們的故事。我熱愛學術研究,但我在實驗室與課堂之外,找到更多啟發。在哈佛商學院最棒的事情就是我受到鼓勵,去跨越研究人員與實務工作者之間的界線。因此我開始跟實體組織中的人討論,研究要怎麼做,怎樣行得通,怎樣會窒礙難行,諸如此類的事。不過我卻沒想到,在那段TED演說上線之後,世上會有無數懇切的陌生人對我敞開心房。

  我喜愛這些人,感覺自己始終與他們緊緊相繫,也需要忠於他們。我想要表彰他們,讚揚他們努力嘗試的那種意志,像是不斷重回馬背挺身上陣,或者幫助他人繼續奮戰,以及他們願意寫下他們的掙扎,用電子郵件寄給一個陌生人的那種意志。有人是在機場、書店的咖啡區,直接向我娓娓道來。現在我瞭解,一場演講可以如何像首歌一樣運作:人們將它個人化,與它連結,因為知道有人跟他感受一樣而覺得安心。戴夫.格羅爾(Dave Grohl)曾經說過:「關於音樂最棒的事就是,你可以對著八萬五千人唱一首歌,他們會因為八萬五千個不同的理由與你唱和。」我在一個青少年流浪之家演說時,曾請居留者舉出他們覺得最難受的狀況。一位青少年說:「來到這個庇護所門口的時候。」在另一個流浪之家,一位女士說:「打電話尋求服務、協助或支援的時候。我知道我會等很久,而電話那一頭的人可能會不耐煩或對我有偏見。」關於這點,同一個庇護所的另一位女士說:「我以前在電話服務中心工作,而我必須說:『接你認識的人的電話會很令人沮喪又氣惱,特別是我要應付無數來電,而對方已經等很久時。』」

  數千人寫信給我,告訴我他們遇見的各種不同的困難——樣貌繁多到令人難以置信,很多內容是我從沒想過我的研究會適用之處。電子郵件的主旨通常都是這樣開頭:「妳的演講幫助了⋯⋯」後面接的是:阿茲海默病患的家屬、消防員、一個同樣是腦部創傷的人、我拿下這輩子最大的案子、購屋的斡旋、大學入學面談、身心障礙人士、喪失榮譽感的二戰老兵、從創傷中回復、角逐世界帆船錦標賽冠軍、被霸凌的孩童、從事服務業的自信心、害怕數學的五年級學生、我自閉症的兒子、參加嚴峻試演的專業歌劇演唱家、對老闆提出新的方案、找到發言的勇氣;而這些還只是所有來信的一小部分而已。

  從TED演說而來的所有迴響都是禮物,幫助我更瞭解這個研究為何及如何引發共鳴。簡單來說,這些故事讓我明白要怎麼寫這本書,而且也激勵我這麼做。它們來自世界各地,來自社會各階層的人,而我會在本書分享其中許多故事。或許在這些故事當中,你會找到許多屬於你的共鳴點

  23. 當你知道你最喜歡的名人是個混蛋時,多令人失望!特別是當那個名人是你本來視為有深度、有敏感度又睿智,某個創作了對你意義非凡事物的人,比如一首歌、一本書或電影裡的一個角色。因為那些作品對你有重大意義,所以你希望那個人也對你意義非凡;因此如果得知他或她是個混蛋的話,會讓一切都毀了。現在,想像相反的情況。你最喜愛的名人遠比你用常理想像的更有深度、更有敏感度、更睿智,而且她很好相處(十分地契合、不著痕跡),就像你們是夏令營中認識一年的好友,你瞭解所有訪談過她的人應該都有同樣感受。茱莉安.摩爾(Julianne Moore)就是這樣的一個人。

Impostor fears and perfectionistic concern over mistakes.Personality and Individual Differences, 29,629-647)、自我接納度以及對環境掌控度低落(September, A. N., McCarrey, M., Baranowsky, A., Parent, C., Schindler, D. [2001]。The relation between well-being, impostor feelings, and gender role orientation among Canadian university students.The Journal of Social Psychology, 141,218-232),高度神經過敏,以及低度自覺意識(Bernard et al., Applying the big five personality factors to the impostor phenomenon),低自尊,(Cozzarelli, C., Major, B. [1990]. Exploring the validity of the impostor phenomenon.Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology, 9,401-417), 還有內向性格(Lawler, N. K. [1985].

J. [1989]. The impostor phenomenon revisited: A validity study of Clance’s IP Scale. Unpublished master’s thesis, Georgia State University, Atlanta). 冒牌者正肯定與某種特質的模式有關聯;然而,在大多數案例中,還不清楚這些特質跟冒牌者是怎樣的因果關係——也就是說,不知是這些特質導致了冒牌者症,或是冒牌者正引發了這些特質。似乎兩者互相增強,使問題惡化。冒牌者症可說是一種情境下的產物,更勝於人格特質的產物(McElwee, R., Yurak, T.

  4. 這個理論,由E. Tori Higgins所發展出的調節定向理論(regulatory focus theory),是現代心理學最具影響力的理論之一。如果你探詢相關文獻,可找到成千上萬資料,你可以考慮從這裡開始著手:Brockner, J., Higgins, E. T. (2001). Regulatory focus theory: Implications for the study ofemotions at work.Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, 86,35-66.如同作者所解釋:先前的理論與研究已經顯示,人們有兩種突出的自我調節方向,當朝著「促進」定向(promotion focus)時,人們受到成長與發展需求的激勵,他們會試圖表現出真實的自我(他們的行為與自我概念),以便吻合他們的理想自我(基於願望與渴望自己成為怎樣的人所形成的自我標準)。當朝著「預防」定向(prevention focus)時,人們會產生安全需求,他們會讓真實自我吻合應有的自我(基於義務與責任所形成的自我標準)。策略上來說,促進定向的人,會先確保「獲得」,而預防定向的人,會保持警戒或確保「不損失」。人們的調節定向對他們的情緒體驗影響甚巨,促進定向者的情緒變化,是一種從開心到沮喪的面相,而預防定向者的情緒,則是從靜止到激動的面向。

What you see may not be what you get: Relationships among self-presentation tactics and ratings of interview and job performance.Journal of Applied Psychology, 94,1394-1411. Examination of various impression management (IM) tactics hasrevealed significant effects for some verbal tactics(e.g.,the use of positive self-descriptive terms and the telling of personal success stories) but not for nonverbal tactics (e.g., frequent eye contact and smiling; see Gilmore, D. C., Ferris,G.R.[1989].The effects of applicant impression management tacticson interviewer judgments.Journal of Management, 15,557-564; Stevens, C. K., Kristof, A. L. [1995]. Making the right impression: A field study of applicant impression management during job interviews.Journal of Applied Psychology, 80,587-606). However, these effects are attenuated or disappear as interviews become longer (see Tsai, W. C., Chen, C. C., Chiu, S. F. [2005]. Exploring boundaries of the effects of applicant impression management tacticsin job interviews.Journal of Management,31,108-125),are more structured or standardized (see Barrick, M. R., Shaffer, J. A., DeGrassi, S. W. [2009]. What you see may not be what you get: Relationships among self-presentation tactics and ratings of interview and job performance.Journal of Applied Psychology, 94,1394-1411), and involve more highly trained interviewers (see Howard, J. L., Ferris, G. R. [1996]. The employment interview context: Social and situational influences on interviewer decisions.Journal of Applied Social Psychology, 26,112-136). Many other variables moderate the extent to which IM tactics lead to positive versus negative hiring decisions, such as the gender of both candidate and interviewer (see Baron, R. A. [1986].Self-presentation in job interviews: When there can be“too much of a good thing.”Journal of Applied Social Psychology, 16,1628;Rudman,L.A.[1998]. Self-promotion as a risk factor for women: The costs and benefits of counter stereo typical impression management.Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 74,629-645; Von Baeyer, C. L., Sherk, D. L., Zanna, M. P. [1981]. Impression management in the job interview when the female applicant meets the male(chauvinist) interviewer.Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, 7,45-51), the valence of the interviewer’s affective state (see Baron,R. A.[1987].Interviewer’s moods and reactions to job applicants: The influence of affective states on applied social judgments.Journal of Applied Social Psychology, 17,911-926), and the perceived similarity of the candidate to the interviewer (seeJudge, T. A., Cable, D. M., Higgins, C. A. [2001]. The employment interview: A review of recent research and recommendations for future research.Human Resource Management Review, 10,383-406). And, perhaps most important, as candidates increase their use of nonverbal IM tactics, interviewers begin to perceive them as inauthentic and manipulative, leading to negative evaluations and hiring decisions (see Baron,Self-presentation in job interviews).

  1. 我上幼稚園後,我們搬回我父母生長的賓州。我父親是華盛頓州的公園管理員,我在此所描述的公園是華盛頓州範提吉(Vantage)地區的「州立銀杏石化森林公園」(Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park),二○○○年時,範提吉的人口降到七十人,不過石造小屋還佇立在那兒,就在公園正中央。

  4. 他們也會看去氫皮質酮(dehydroepiandrosterone;DHEA),以及醛固酮(aldosterone,在調節血壓扮演中心角色),不過結果是綜合的,有些受試者感受到改變,有的則沒有。

  5. 即便在最簡單的瑜伽規則中,大多數體位都挺複雜的。有許多身體部位的動作,全都要恰當地保持同步平衡。體位必須保持不動一段時間,還要加上呼吸與正念等元素。若要速效,務實來說,瑜伽對大多數人在大多數時候,都不算是最簡便的做法。

  6. 荷爾蒙水準通常從血液或透過唾液樣本來檢測。雖說前者提供比較保險的測驗,社會心理學家卻很少收集血液樣本,所以唾液樣本是最標準的。為了正確測量針對某刺激唾液中的睪丸酮與皮質醇水準變化,例如:有權力姿勢,(一)此研究(因應這些荷爾蒙的日常水準變化)應該在下午進行,樣本蒐集也是。(二)實驗人員應該在受試者抵達實驗室後,至少十分鐘之後,才蒐集第一次的唾液樣本,這是為了讓荷爾蒙水平回歸正常。(三)實驗人員應該在進行預設的刺激之後十五~二十分鐘之後,才去蒐集唾液樣本。

  33. 在史蒂夫.奧古斯特(Steve August)寫給我的另一封電子郵件中,他繼續解釋:簡單來說,事情是這樣的:(一)駝背會日積月累。最後上背會彎曲,這樣一來,凍結在一種緊縮的姿勢中,脊椎四周堅韌的膠質也會縮短、堆積在不動的關節周邊,當這些漸漸變硬,沒人能自己把這彎曲再伸展開來,必須透過足夠的外力才能做到。這是槓桿作用。(二)脖子後面的肌肉,必須加倍力量來能把頭撐起,即便只是向前看或看看小螢幕。因此這樣緊縮,就會損傷有黏性的纖維,為了修復那緊縮,又再次損傷而變短。(三)脖子前側的肌肉較少運用且較弱,因此下巴突出。(四)這種駝背、凸下巴的姿勢壓迫了脖子的每段關節,那麼遲早有一些會緊緊鎖住,造成脖子痠痛,併發其他疼痛,以及頭痛。根據保守估計,現在當你讀到這裡,使用電腦的六位成年人當中就有一個,有上背部或脖子劇烈疼痛的問題,或者因脖子引發的頭痛。那代表,有六千萬歐洲人,四千五百萬美國人,以及三百三十萬澳洲人,有這樣的問題。這數據說不定已經過時了。有用的資訊請參考這篇報告:Ren.

  44. 如同所有心理學現象,有許多因素放大或抑制了擴張性姿勢。最重要的,外在情境大有關係,例如:有項研究指出,當人們被要求想像被警察搜身時,採用擴張性姿勢,並不會增加風險忍受度。參與社會性任務,例如:看著照片中的人臉,同時擺出擴張性姿勢,似乎增加了效果力道。也許是因為權力總是被認為是一種社會性的結構。另一個需要進一步驗證的是,一個人保持姿勢的那段時間。因為我在TED演說中討論了我們第一項研究,在其中,人們做出兩種姿勢,為時兩分鐘。「兩分鐘」帶來某種神奇特質,使得這演講與研究的新聞,在大眾文化圈中散播開來。是的,在那個研究中,兩分鐘可行。不過,有十五個或更多的擴張性姿勢研究,受試者維持一個姿勢,三十秒到五分鐘不等的時間。而在瑜伽課中,大家會進行一系列動作,長達一小時或更久。兩分鐘並非不得變動的預設值,事實上,維持一個姿勢超過一分鐘或兩分鐘(不在瑜伽課時),似乎會開始感覺不舒服而且很尷尬,那讓人們太過覺察自我,而且或許會削弱了權力姿勢的力道。在一些試行研究中,我們曾以孩童為受試者,他們維持姿勢到二十秒就開始感覺尷尬。如果你想閱讀更多可能的調整做法,可參考Carney, D. R., Cuddy, A. J., Yap, A. J. (2015). Review and summary of research on the embodied effects of expansive (vs. contractive) nonverbal displays.Psychological Science, 26(5),657-663.

本文

  

  前言 我用姿勢戰勝挑戰,展現最佳狀態

  

  

  我喜歡坐在波士頓書店的咖啡區吧檯,開著筆記型電腦寫稿。十分鐘前我點了咖啡和馬芬蛋糕。服務生是一位笑容滿面、戴著眼鏡的黑髮女孩。她停頓了一下,然後悄悄地對我說:「我只是想跟妳說,妳的TED演講對我來說意義重大,讓我大受激勵。幾年前,我有一門課的教授分享了那段影片。我目前正在申請醫學院,我想跟妳說,參加醫學院入學測驗之前,我站在浴室裡假裝自己是神力女超人,那招果真有效。雖然妳不認識我,卻幫我找出自己人生真正想做的事,那就是念醫學院。而妳幫了我,謝謝妳。」

  我不禁熱淚盈眶,問她:「妳叫什麼名字?」

  「費塔茵。」然後我們又聊了大約十分鐘,聊到費塔茵過去的困境,以及她對未來剛萌生的振奮之情。

  每個上前找我的人都很獨特、很令人難忘,不過這類互動發生得比我想像更頻繁:陌生人親切地跟我打招呼,告訴我他們已經成功克服某個挑戰,然後感謝我幫助他們。這些人有男有女,有老有少、有內向害羞、也有外向合群,有窮人、也有富人。而他們的共通之處是——他們都在面對強大壓力與焦慮時感到無助,而他們也都找到了一個異常簡單的方法,把自己從無助中解放,至少在事發當下是如此。

  大多數作家的經驗是書先出版,然後才收到讀者回應,而我的經驗卻是反過來。我先是做了一系列的實驗,促成我到二○一二年TED全球會議上演講。在演講中,我探討了一系列耐人尋味的研究發現,主題是「我們的身體如何影響我們的大腦與行為」。(我就是在那裡描述了費塔茵所提,浴室裡的神力女超人,在後文我會做解釋;那動作可以在我們面對挑戰情境時,快速增進我們的自信,降低我們的焦慮。)我也分享了我如何跟自己的「冒牌者症候群」(impostor syndrome)奮戰,以及我怎麼「騙過自己」,讓自己感到很有自信,最後轉變成真的有自信。我稱這種現象為「假裝到你真的變成那樣」(順便一提,在演講時,我談到自己的掙扎,那部分完全不在計畫之內;稿子裡沒這段,因為我並不認為自己膽敢在幾百個我不認識的聽眾面前,透露這麼私人的事⋯⋯)雖然我對這主題深有同感,但我並不知道它是否能引起大家的迴響。沒想到那段二十一分鐘的影片上線後,我就開始陸續聽到很多人說自己已經看過了。

  當然聽我的演說,不會神奇地賦予費塔茵考好醫學院入學測驗所需要的知識。她並沒有因此更深入理解平滑型菌株與粗糙型菌株的不同特徵,或者瞭解能量定理與動能變化的關聯是怎麼運作的。不過,這演說也許釋放了恐懼,無礙她展現所學。因為無權力感(powerlessness)會吞噬我們,以及我們所相信、理解與感受到的所有事。它會掩蓋了我們的本質,讓我們隱形,甚至讓我們跟自己疏離。

  無權力感的相反,必定是「擁有權力」,是嗎?某種程度來說是的,不過事情沒那麼簡單。我多年來所做的研究(現在隸屬於一個龐大的研究領域)專門探索一種我稱為「展現最佳狀態」(presence)的特質。展現最佳狀態是從相信、信任自己而來的——包含你真切、誠實的感受,你的價值與能力。這很重要,因為如果連你都不相信自己,要別人怎麼信任你?不管是在兩個人或五千人面前演說、面談一份工作、爭取加薪、或者向潛在投資者提案某項商業計畫、為自己發言、或替別人說話,我們都會面臨令人膽怯的片刻,那種時候若想自我感覺良好或為自己人生做出進展,就必須保持鎮定。展現最佳狀態賦予我們力量,挺身面對這些時刻。

  

  

  

  

  醫生判我腦部受損,最後仍名校畢業,怎麼辦到?

  我印象最深的是朋友在白板上為我留下的卡通圖畫與愛心留言。那時我大二,在醫院病房醒來,望了四周一圈,全是卡片和花。我全身無力,同時卻又焦急又激動。我幾乎睜不開眼,這種狀況從來沒發生過。我不知發生什麼事,但還沒力氣搞清楚就睡著了。

  這狀況一直重複。

  至於在醫院醒來之前的事,我記得清楚的只有我跟兩位好友以及室友一起,要從蒙大拿州(Montana)的密蘇拉(Missoula)回到科羅拉多州(Colorado)的波德(Boulder)。我們到密蘇拉是去協助蒙大拿大學的學生籌辦研討會,並拜訪朋友。我們在週日傍晚大約六點時,從密蘇拉離開,我們想要趕回波德上早晨的課。現在回想起來,特別是以為人父母的身分,可以看出這舉動有多麼愚蠢,因為密蘇拉到波德開車要十三到十四小時;不過當時我們才十九歲。

  我們有個自認為絕佳的計畫:每個人輪流開三分之一的路程;有個人要撐住,負責讓駕駛保持清醒與警覺,而另一個人則可在越野休旅車後座,攤平座椅,裹著睡袋休息。我開過一輪,我想是第一個班次,然後保持清醒,監督駕駛。那真是一段輕柔的記憶,非常平靜。我愛身旁這些人,也愛西部的壯闊,還有渺無人煙的曠野。高速公路上不開前照燈也沒關係,路上只有我們,然後就換我到後座睡覺。

  接下來發生的這些事,是我事後才知道。我的朋友在最糟的那個時段開車,深夜裡你會感到,自己可能是世上唯一清醒的人的那種時刻。不只是在深夜,而且是身處在懷俄明州(Wyoming)深處的深夜。很黑,很廣,很孤寂。幾乎沒有什麼能讓你保持清醒。大約清晨四點時,我的朋友開車衝出了路面,一撞上路肩崎嶇的減速標線,她回轉過大,以至於車子翻轉了好幾圈,最後四輪朝天停住。前座兩位朋友繫了安全帶,攤平在後座正在睡覺的我,被彈出車外摔進黑夜中,我頭部右上方著地,跌撞在高速公路上,身體其他部位還在睡袋中。

  我腦部遭受嚴重創傷。更具體地說,是一種「瀰漫性軸索損傷」(diffuse axonal injury,
DAI),DAI指的是,大腦遭「剪力」所傷,通常是嚴重的旋轉所致,而車禍很常會產生這種旋轉。想像高速行駛的車發生衝撞會有的情況:在衝擊之下,速度瞬間驟變,你的身體突然靜止,而大腦卻還在移動,有時是在頭顱內不尋常地轉動,甚至在頭顱內撞來撞去。我頭部撞上高速公路的力道弄斷了頭骨。

  大腦本應待在安全的地方,外有頭骨保護,還有幾層薄膜(稱為「腦膜」)與腦脊液做為軟墊。大腦與頭骨雖是好夥伴,但卻不應該如此親密接觸。腦部重創的剪力,損壞並拉扯整個腦部的神經與其纖維(稱為「軸突」)。就像電線一樣,軸突表面有一層防護塗層做絕緣(或說緩衝)稱為「髓鞘」。即便軸突沒有受創,光是損及髓鞘也會讓神經間的訊息傳導速度陡降。

  DAI是指腦部整體受創,這和單點式的腦部傷害(比如槍傷),只有特定部位遭受損傷是不同的。大腦的運作全仰賴神經的傳輸;當整個腦部神經受損,傳輸不免也會受到破壞。所以當你受的傷屬於DAI,沒有醫生會告訴你:「是這樣的,損傷在運動部位,所以你行動會比較困難。」或者:「損傷在語言區,你想要說話或說話過程會受阻。」他們不會告訴你,你能否康復、能康復到什麼程度、或者大腦哪個功能會受影響:你的記憶力會喪失?還是你的情緒?你的空間概念?你細微的運動技能?由於我們對DAI瞭解還不多,醫生能提供精確預後的可能性也很渺茫。

  遭受DAI之後,你會完全變成另一個人,很多方面都如此。你怎麼思考、你的感受、你的表達方式、回應、互動——所有面向都會受到影響。除此之外,你對自己的理解能力可能也受到威脅,因此你處於一種並不清楚自己究竟改變多大的狀態中。而且沒有人,沒有任何人,可以告訴你,接下來會怎樣。

  現在我來解釋一下,就我當時所能理解,我的大腦究竟發生了什麼事(請搭配蟋蟀鳴音效聲):

  我當時在醫院,已經從大學休學,醫生對於我的認知協調是否能恢復到可重返校園,抱持強烈懷疑。根據我受傷的嚴重程度以及類似損傷者的統計,他們說:「別期望能唸完大學。妳會沒事的,大腦『能有效運作』,不過妳該考慮去做別的事。」我得知自己的智商下滑了三十分,低了兩個標準差。我會知道這個,不是因為醫生告訴我。我知道是因為他們為我做了為期兩天的一系列神經心理測驗,而智商是其中一項,我收到的那份長長的報告當中包含了這個結果;醫生並不認為跟我解釋這個有什麼重要,或者他們覺得我沒有聰明到能理解?我不想把智商看得太重,我不是說它具有預測人生成就的能力。不過,那是當時我認為能夠量化了我才能的指標。所以就我的理解,根據醫生的說法,我已經不再是聰明人,而我感覺這說法完全沒錯。

  我接受了職能治療、認知治療、語言治療、物理治療、心理諮商。大約在意外發生的六個月之後,我在家度過了夏天,幾位很明顯疏離了的密友告訴我:「妳跟以前就是不一樣了。」何以兩位似乎最瞭解我的朋友都說我已經不是原來的我?怎樣不同?她們看不見真正的我,連我都看不見自己。

  腦部創傷讓人感覺迷惑、焦躁,而且挫敗。當醫生告訴妳,他們也不知道妳未來會怎樣,朋友都說妳變了,肯定又放大了那些迷惑、焦躁與挫敗感。

  接下來的一年,我都身在迷霧中——焦慮不安,失去方向,做些爛決定,不知道下一步要做什麼。在那之後,我回到學校。但我太快回去了,我無法思考,無法適切地理解別人說的事。那就像聽人說話時,對方一半用我聽得懂的語言,一半是我不懂的語言說話一樣。那隻讓我更挫折、更焦慮。我必須休學,因為我的課業都不及格。

  在這場車禍中,雖然我斷了些骨頭,多了些醜傷疤,不過身體看起來完整無缺。而因為腦部通常別人看不見,大家會說一些話像是:

  「哇,妳好幸運!妳很可能會沒命呢!」

  「幸運?」我心想。然後又對自己因他們好意的說法而受挫,感到又罪惡又羞愧。

  我們的思考方式、智力、個人特質,這些都是我們認為不會改變的事,我們覺得理當如此。我們害怕車禍會導致我們癱瘓,改變我們的行動能力,或者使我們失聰或失明,但我們沒想過車禍會讓我們失去自我。

  頭部受傷後好幾年,我都在努力超越先前的自己,雖然我不太知道先前的我是什麼模樣。我覺得自己是個冒牌貨,一個藏在我自己身體裡的冒牌貨。我要重新學著怎麼學習。我一直設法重回學校,因為我不能接受別人告訴我說我做不到。

  我必須努力用功趕上別人,緩慢地跟上。最後我的心理狀態慢慢恢復清明,這讓我無可言喻地鬆了口氣。我比車禍之前那些同班同學晚了四年畢業。

  而讓我堅持下去的原因之一是我發現了自己喜歡的科目——心理學。大學畢業後,我順利進入一個需要腦部功能正常運作的專業。如同法國小說家阿納託爾·法朗士(Anatole France)所寫的:「所有改變⋯⋯都有令人感傷之處;因為我們所拋下的是自己的一部分;我們必須結束一個人生,才會進入另一個人生。」這一路以來,不意外地,我變成一個十分關切「人的存在狀態」與「力量」、「自信」與「懷疑」這些問題的人。

  我受的傷,引領我去研究「展現最佳狀態」的科學,不過我的TED演講卻讓我體會到,那是多麼普世的渴求。因為大多數人每天都在面對挑戰。在世界各個角落,過著各種不同生活的人,都在努力鼓起勇氣在課堂上發言、面試工作、為爭取一個角色試鏡、與日常的艱困奮戰、為自己相信的真理挺身而出、或者只想心安理得做自己。不論是無家可歸的人,或者在傳統標準裡極其成功之士都如此。財星五百大企業高階主管、打贏官司的律師、才華洋溢的藝術家或表演工作者、霸凌、歧視及性騷擾受害人、政治難民、與心理疾病奮戰的人或遭受重大創傷的人,全都是一樣的;所有人都面對這種挑戰。還有所有努力從旁協助的人也需面臨挑戰,不管是父母、配偶、孩子、諮商師、醫生、同事、以及他們的朋友。

  這些人(絕大多數都不是科學家)迫使我用新的眼光看待自己的研究:他們把我帶離科學,同時又帶進科學中。聆聽他們的故事,我感到自己有責任去思索社會科學的研究成果,實際上能怎麼在真實世界裡運作。我開始專注去做能正面影響人生的研究。不過我也開始遭遇一些,如果留在實驗室或沉浸在學術中,不會碰到的問題。

  一開始我對TED演講的回應不知所措,而且覺得公開自己的研究與私事真是大錯特錯。我沒料到會有這麼多陌生人看到它,沒想到自己會感到如此脆弱與暴露。任何在網路崛起並瞬間家喻戶曉的人,都有過這種感覺。在公開場合會開始有人認出妳來,那需要一些自我調整來適應;無論是陌生人請我站成「神力女超人」的姿勢跟她們一起自拍,或者聽到有人從人力三輪車上(在奧斯汀市發生過)喊道:「嘿!是那TED演講的女生耶!」

  不過多數時候我感到無比幸運,慶幸自己有機會跟這麼多人分享這項研究以及我的故事。更幸運的是有這麼多人跟我分享他們的故事。我熱愛學術研究,但我在實驗室與課堂之外,找到更多啟發。在哈佛商學院最棒的事情就是我受到鼓勵,去跨越研究人員與實務工作者之間的界線。因此我開始跟實體組織中的人討論,研究要怎麼做,怎樣行得通,怎樣會窒礙難行,諸如此類的事。不過我卻沒想到,在那段TED演說上線之後,世上會有無數懇切的陌生人對我敞開心房。

  我喜愛這些人,感覺自己始終與他們緊緊相繫,也需要忠於他們。我想要表彰他們,讚揚他們努力嘗試的那種意志,像是不斷重回馬背挺身上陣,或者幫助他人繼續奮戰,以及他們願意寫下他們的掙扎,用電子郵件寄給一個陌生人的那種意志。有人是在機場、書店的咖啡區,直接向我娓娓道來。現在我瞭解,一場演講可以如何像首歌一樣運作:人們將它個人化,與它連結,因為知道有人跟他感受一樣而覺得安心。戴夫.格羅爾(Dave Grohl)曾經說過:「關於音樂最棒的事就是,你可以對著八萬五千人唱一首歌,他們會因為八萬五千個不同的理由與你唱和。」我在一個青少年流浪之家演說時,曾請居留者舉出他們覺得最難受的狀況。一位青少年說:「來到這個庇護所門口的時候。」在另一個流浪之家,一位女士說:「打電話尋求服務、協助或支援的時候。我知道我會等很久,而電話那一頭的人可能會不耐煩或對我有偏見。」關於這點,同一個庇護所的另一位女士說:「我以前在電話服務中心工作,而我必須說:『接你認識的人的電話會很令人沮喪又氣惱,特別是我要應付無數來電,而對方已經等很久時。』」

  數千人寫信給我,告訴我他們遇見的各種不同的困難——樣貌繁多到令人難以置信,很多內容是我從沒想過我的研究會適用之處。電子郵件的主旨通常都是這樣開頭:「妳的演講幫助了⋯⋯」後面接的是:阿茲海默病患的家屬、消防員、一個同樣是腦部創傷的人、我拿下這輩子最大的案子、購屋的斡旋、大學入學面談、身心障礙人士、喪失榮譽感的二戰老兵、從創傷中回復、角逐世界帆船錦標賽冠軍、被霸凌的孩童、從事服務業的自信心、害怕數學的五年級學生、我自閉症的兒子、參加嚴峻試演的專業歌劇演唱家、對老闆提出新的方案、找到發言的勇氣;而這些還只是所有來信的一小部分而已。

  從TED演說而來的所有迴響都是禮物,幫助我更瞭解這個研究為何及如何引發共鳴。簡單來說,這些故事讓我明白要怎麼寫這本書,而且也激勵我這麼做。它們來自世界各地,來自社會各階層的人,而我會在本書分享其中許多故事。或許在這些故事當中,你會找到許多屬於你的共鳴點
