Participants' (N = 256) competitive or cooperative attitudes toward national groups were activated by their reading 1 of 2 selected newspaper articles. Participants then judged the competence and attractiveness of a stranger who was categorized, separately for race and nationality, as belonging to an out-group or in-group. As predicted, the activated competitive attitude produced responses prescribed by the model of category dominance by nationality. In the condition of cooperative attitudes, however, competence responses were consistent with the model of equivalence (i.e., no effect of category) and attraction responses were consistent with the model of category dominance by race. The authors discuss reasons for the discrepant models in the condition of cooperative attitudes and the implications of these findings.
参与者(N = 256)对不同国家群体的竞争或合作态度通过阅读两篇选定报纸文章中的一篇来激发。然后,参与者对一个陌生人的能力和吸引力进行评判,该陌生人根据种族和国籍被分别归类为外群体或内群体。正如预测的那样,被激活的竞争态度产生了符合国籍类别主导模型的反应。然而,在合作态度的情况下,能力反应符合等价模型(即类别无影响),而吸引力反应符合种族类别主导模型。作者讨论了合作态度情况下模型差异的原因以及这些发现的意义。
