Three studies examine how power differences between targets and sources of prejudice affect targets' emotional reactions to prejudice. Study 1 first demonstrates that people do not expect powerful others to be prejudiced. Studies 2 and 3 then examine what happens when targets encounter prejudice, as a function of the source's power. Targets notice and recall prejudiced statements from powerful sources, irrespective of whether or not they are personally dependent on the source. However, results also demonstrate that personal dependency on the source determines how much targets attend to and are emotionally affected by prejudice. Emotional reactions to prejudice as a function of source power were mediated by negative expectations about future interactions.
三项研究探讨了偏见的目标对象与来源之间的权力差异如何影响目标对象对偏见的情绪反应。研究1首先表明,人们并不期望有权势的人会有偏见。研究2和研究3接着考察当目标对象遭遇偏见时会发生什么,这是作为来源权力的一个函数。目标对象会注意到并回忆起有权势来源的偏见言论,无论他们个人是否依赖于该来源。然而,结果也表明,个人对来源的依赖决定了目标对象对偏见的关注程度以及受其情绪影响的程度。作为来源权力函数的对偏见的情绪反应是由对未来互动的负面预期所介导的。
