Two studies investigated the mediating effects of liking and attributions of motives on the relationship between a ratee's reputation and helpful behaviors and raters' reward decisions. During managerial simulations, raters evaluated individuals after watching videotapes in which the individual's reputation and helpful behaviors were manipulated. Results indicated an interaction effect between reputation and helpful behaviors such that a helpful person with a good reputation received more rewards than did a helpful person with a bad reputation. In contrast, an unhelpful person with a good reputation did not receive better rewards than an unhelpful person with a bad reputation. Moreover, raters' liking of ratees and the motives raters attributed to ratees' helpful behaviors mediated the relationship between the manipulations and raters' reward decisions.
两项研究调查了喜欢程度和动机归因在被评价者声誉与助人行为之间的关系以及评价者奖励决策中所起的中介作用。在管理模拟过程中,评价者在观看了对被评价者声誉和助人行为进行了操控的录像带后对其进行评价。结果表明声誉和助人行为之间存在交互作用,即声誉良好的助人者比声誉不佳的助人者获得更多奖励。相比之下,声誉良好的不助人者并没有比声誉不佳的不助人者获得更好的奖励。此外,评价者对被评价者的喜欢程度以及评价者对被评价者助人行为所归因的动机,在这些操控与评价者奖励决策之间的关系中起到了中介作用。
