摘要
现有研究中有关群际威胁对集体自尊是增强作用还是削弱作用存在矛盾结论,可能是不同研究采用了不同类型的群际威胁,且情绪在群际威胁和集体自尊二者之间可能存在某种作用所导致的。本研究通过情景启动的实验发现,现实群际威胁唤起了更高水平的愤怒情绪,愤怒情绪越多,被试的集体自尊越高。而象征群际威胁唤起了更高水平的自卑情绪,自卑情绪越多,被试的集体自尊越低。总之,群际威胁类型的不同对集体自尊产生不同的影响,情绪在其中起中介作用。
A large number of studies seek to identify how intergroup threats could conduct different emotions. Previous studies resulted in the inconsistent conclusions concerning the influence of the intergroup threat on the collective self-esteem. In some studies intergroup threats could promote collective self-esteem, but in other research the reduction effect appeared. Moreover, there were salient relations between intergroup threat, emotion and intergroup attitude. Therefore, we suggested that emotion could result in the inconsistent conclusions concerning the influence of the intergroup threat on the collective self-esteem. Four paragraphs selected from news primed the participants＇ feeling of the intergroup threat, which contained one condition among low realistic threat, high realistic threat, low symbolic threat or high symbolic threat information. 87 participants were randomly organized into four groups. Firstly, they were required to read one kind of the news and then they were asked to describe which kinds of emotion were aroused after reading the news. Finally they finished the questionnaires of collective self-esteem. We used the independent t-text with the feeling of threat. The result showed a significant effect on the feeling of threat： people in the high threat groups had a stronger reaction than those in the low threat groups. The emotions aroused in the threat groups were also significantly stronger than those aroused in the control group. More specifically, anger in the high realistic threat group was stronger than that in the low realistic threat group and high symbolic threat group. But comparatively, inferiority in the high symbolic threat group was stronger than that in the other three. In brief, different kinds of emotions were aroused by different types of threat. In order to evaluate the meditating effect in different intergroup threat types and collective self-esteem, mediation analysis was used to analyze the data. Anger mediated the full effect between different intergroup threats and c
