概括
社会启动并没有促进普通话中文或阿拉伯语口音的英语的感知. 社会素数的特异性可能取决于听众对口音和种族群体的熟悉程度.
科学领域:
- 心理语言学 心理语言学
- 语音感知 语音感知
- 社会心理学 社会心理学
背景情况:
- 听众利用社交信息,比如说话者种族,来处理语音,可能通过社交启动来帮助感知.
- 之前的研究表明,社会素数可以促进语音处理,但它们对第二语言 (L2) 口音的影响需要进一步调查.
研究的目的:
- 通过检查其对普通话中文和阿拉伯口音英语的影响来复制和扩展社会启动研究.
- 通过使用不同组合的发言人面孔 (中东,白人,东亚) 和L2口音来测试社会素数的特异性.
- 调查社会素数是否影响L2口音感知,以及这些影响是否特定于特定的口音组配对.
主要方法:
- 参与者被暴露在视觉社会素数 (不同种族的面孔或轮) 之前,听英语发音由普通话中文或阿拉伯语说话者.
- 在不同的社会启动条件下,每个口音的语音感知精度都被测量出来.
- 该研究分析了特定的主要口音组合 (例如,中东主要的普通话口音) 与其他组合相比是否产生不同的结果.
主要成果:
- 对于普通话中文或阿拉伯口音的英语,没有观察到显著的促进性社会原始化效应.
- 关于社会素数的特异性的结果是混合的;一个阿拉伯口音的东亚素数显示的准确性低于白人素数.
- 使用普通话口音的中东素数并没有降低准确度,而且可能稍微提高了准确度,这表明了复杂的相互作用.
结论:
- 社会原始化对L2重音语音感知的影响可能不如以前想象的那么明显,或高度依赖于听众的体验.
- 社交启动的特殊性似乎与听众对种族/族群的熟悉程度以及特定的L2口音有关.
- 需要进一步的研究来澄清社会启动在L2语音感知中的作用和程度,考虑到听众的专业知识.

Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

01:27Language and Cognition

Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

01:25Factors Affecting Perception
1.6K
Perception is influenced by perceptual set, context, motivation, and emotion. Perceptual set, or perceptual expectancy, refers to the tendency to perceive things in a particular way, influenced by previous experiences and expectations. This phenomenon affects the interpretation of stimuli, creating a set of mental tendencies and assumptions that impact sensory perceptions of sound, taste, touch, and sight.

The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

01:14Fundamental Attribution Error
12.9K
According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is...
