Research on the Psychological Process of Cultural Adaptation of Translators in Online Literature Translation

本文信息

摘要

This study focuses on the psychological process of cultural adaptation of translators in online literature translation. A mixed research method including questionnaire survey, in-depth interview, and neurocognitive experiment was used to systematically investigate 126 active translators. The study found that the cultural adaptation speed of online literature translators was 1.8 times faster than that of traditional translators, but the peak psychological load was 2.1 times higher, showing typical high-speed and high-pressure characteristics. Cultural distance was significantly positively correlated with translator anxiety level. When the cultural difference index exceeded 7.3, the translator's strategy shifted from compromise to innovation. For every 1 standard deviation increase in virtual community participation, the translator's adaptation efficiency increased by 33%, but over-reliance on community consensus would lead to a 17% decrease in creativity. EEG data showed that the translator's gamma wave activity increased by 37% when processing subcultural elements. The prefrontal-temporal functional connection strength reached 2.3 times the baseline value, confirming the neural mechanism of creative tension. The study constructed an evaluation system containing 17 psychological indicators, providing empirical evidence for the training of online literature translation talents and platform optimization.
