摘要
人们预测群体成员行为具有一致性。但行为具有不同的社会效价(积极和消极),本研究探讨了效价是否以及如何影响对群体行为一致性的预测。结果发现,人们预测积极效价的帮助行为在群体中保持一致性的程度高于消极效价的阻碍行为,且群体规范感知而非个人偏好感知在其中起中介作用;群体实体性调节对群体规范和个人偏好的感知,进而改变效价影响群体行为一致性预测的程度。因此,预测行为时人们会灵活考虑群体情境因素的制约作用。
Individuals are predicted to share behaviors and attributes with associated group members,even without knowledge of these particular members. However,behaviors can have different valences(i.e., positive and negative),and the current study explored whether and how predicting group-consistent behaviors is influenced by the valences of behavior. When group members performed negative behaviors(i.e., hindering),a new individual associated with this group was predicted to be less likely to follow them than when group members performed positive behaviors(i.e., helping). Furthermore,the perceived group norms under which all group members approved of to-be-predicted behaviors,instead of the perceived individual preferences in which the predicted individual preferred to implement to-be-predicted behaviors,statistically mediated this influential relation(Experiment 1). Importantly,the influences of behavior valence in predicting group-consistent behaviors were more pronounced when individuals formed a loose group than when they formed an entitative group,and such influence was still mediated by the perceived group norm;moreover,as group entitativity loosened,the group norm was perceived as being weakened,which thereby decreased the likelihood of predicting group-consistent negative behaviors(Experiment 2). Hence,predicting behaviors based on group membership is largely driven by perceived group norms and is accordingly valence dependent. This implies that the extent to which people hold group norms varies with valenced group-consistent behaviors,at least for helping and hindering behaviors,and people flexibly utilize group-related situations to predict behaviors.
