概括
极性对应原理解释了为什么会发生自我优先级效应,即匹配与自我相关的刺激更快. 然而,即使极性原则不完全适用,一个小的自我相关效应仍然存在.
科学领域:
- 认知心理学 认知心理学
- 社会认知是指社会认知.
- 实验心理学 实验心理学
背景情况:
- 自我优先效应 (SPE) 表明,与其他相关刺激相比,与自我相关的刺激的反应时间更快.
- 极性对应原理 (PCP) 假定与极性相似的刺激相匹配 (例如,阳性-阳性) 会导致更快的反应.
研究的目的:
- 调查极性对应原理 (PCP) 是否可以解释自我优先效应 (SPE).
- 通过操纵响应条件来检查SPE中响应极性的作用.
主要方法:
- 复制了Seymour (1969) 的点位置匹配任务以验证PCP.
- 调整了自我匹配任务,以测试PCP对SPE的解释能力,使用单个和多个"其他"类别.
- 操纵响应指令 ("是"匹配与"不"匹配) 来评估响应极性的贡献.
主要成果:
- 复制西摩尔 (1969) 的发现证实了PCP.
- 当参与者对匹配的答案"是"时,SPE被复制,与PCP预测保持一致.
- SPE减少了,但当参与者对匹配回答"不"时仍然显著,这表明PCP的部分作用和剩余的自我效应.
结论:
- 极性对应原理 (PCP) 通过对准自我相关刺激和"是"反应的极性来部分解释自我优先级效应 (SPE).
- 除了PCP之外,还存在剩余的自我相关效应,表明自我优先级可能涉及额外的机制.
- 响应应急因素显著影响SPE的大小,突出了刺激性质和任务需求之间的相互作用.

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Group Polarization

Group polarization is the strengthening of an original group attitude following the discussion of views within a group (Teger & Pruitt, 1967). That is, if a group initially favors a viewpoint, after discussion the group consensus is likely a stronger endorsement of the viewpoint. Conversely, if the group was initially opposed to a viewpoint, group discussion would likely lead to stronger opposition.

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Framing Effects

Information is everywhere and its presentation—such as how and when items are presented—can impact our perceptions and decisions surrounding the info. This broad concept umbrellas framing effects—influences that occur due to the way information is framed in its appearance, whether it’s purely the order or the specific wording of a message. Let’s take a look at numerous ways in which two versions of something can objectively say the same thing, yet we respond in...

According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...
