“…Beyond love, people use heart-related metaphors to conceptualize other prosocial, altruistic states like caring, compassion, empathy, and the like (Niemeier, 2000). Indeed, people place their hands over their hearts when they feel close connections with others (Farley et al, 2021) and it is the abnormal heart-whether hard, cold, or small-that is prone to callousness or antisocial feelings (Niemeier, 1997). On the basis of this metaphoric analysis, we expected self-locations in the heart to be associated with prosocial sentiments and behaviors, consistent with prominent heart-related metaphors suggesting that it tends to be warm and big (i.e., prosocial) rather than cold and small (Afreh, 2015;Niemeier, 2008).…”

When people are asked to locate the self within the body, they most frequently point to the head or upper torso, which contains the heart. The head and the heart also figure prominently in conceptual metaphors for the self, with the head linked to cold rationality and the heart linked to warm emotionality. Three studies involving four daily diary samples (total N = 540) focused on interrelations between perceived locations for the self and daily interpersonal conduct. On days on which individuals perceived the self to be located primarily in the heart, they felt and behaved in a more prosocial manner, and these relationships remained significant when controlling for daily stressor frequencies. Variations in self-location did not predict antisocial behaviors, though hostile feelings were less intense when self-locations favored the heart. The results provide new evidence for the relevance of conceptual metaphors to self-representation and social functioning.

Nisan arca adalah salah satu produk budaya material dari masa Islam di wilayah administratif Sulawesi Selatan. Nisan arca di kawasan etnik Makassar, yang berada di Kabupaten Bantaeng, Jeneponto dan Maros, menunjukkan morfologi dan ciri antropomorfik yang berbeda satu sama lain. Perbedaan tersebut dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor, di antaranya adalah periode penggunaan dan kandungan maknanya. Penelitian ini ditujukan untuk memahami makna yang dikandung oleh nisan arca, dengan menjawab permasalahan-permasalahan mengenai kronologi nisan arca di Kawasan etnik Makassar dan identitas budaya Makassar. Data penelitian ini dilandasi oleh hasil analisis morfologi nisan dari penelitian terdahulu, kemudian pada penelitian ini dilanjutkan dengan analisis historis dan etnografis. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa keberadaan nisan arca dilatarbelakangi oleh tradisi pra-Islam yang masih terpelihara di tengah-tengah masyarakat Makassar, yang dalam perkembangannya mengalami pembauran dengan budaya Islam yang hadir pada periode selanjutnya. Nisan arca budaya Makassar mengandung simbol-simbol budaya sebagai identitas bagi masyarakat penggunanya, yaitu kebangsawanan atau stratifikasi sosial, religiusitas, pengharapan, penghormatan dan kebanggaan, serta intelektualitas. An effigy gravestone is one among the products of material culture from the Islamic period in the administrative area of South Sulawesi. The effigy gravestone in the Makassar ethnic regions of Bantaeng, Jeneponto, and Maros, present different morphological and anthropomorphic characteristics from one another. This difference is influenced by several factors, including the period of use and significance. This study aims to understand the significance of effigy gravestones by recognising the chronology of the gravestones in the Makassar ethnic regions, and within the Makassar cultural identity. The data of this study are based on the results of the morphological analysis of the gravestones from previous studies, and this research is continued with historical and ethnographic analysis. The results of this study indicate that the existence of the effigy gravestones is motivated by pre-Islamic traditions that are still preserved in Makassar society, which in its development experienced assimilation with the Islamic culture that was present in the later period. The Makassar effigy gravestones contain cultural symbols as identities of the people who use them, i.e. nobility or social stratification, religiosity, hope, respect and pride, and intellect.
