Prior research has indicated that positive moods increase but negative moods decrease the trait activation of spontaneous trait inferences (STIs). However, it is unknown whether this difference is also present in STIs about the actor. In Study 1, using a false recognition paradigm, we found that Chinese undergraduates made STIs about the actor. In Study 2, we found that the happy Chinese undergraduates were more likely to make STIs about the actor than the sad Chinese undergraduates. These findings showed that Chinese people made STIs about the actor and moods had an influence on their STIs about the actor.
先前的研究表明,积极情绪会增强但消极情绪会减弱自发特质推理(STIs)的特质激活。然而,这种差异在关于行为者的自发特质推理中是否也存在尚不清楚。在研究1中,我们使用错误识别范式发现,中国大学生会对行为者进行自发特质推理。在研究2中,我们发现,与悲伤的中国大学生相比,快乐的中国大学生更有可能对行为者进行自发特质推理。这些发现表明,中国人会对行为者进行自发特质推理,并且情绪会对他们关于行为者的自发特质推理产生影响。
