The current research explores whether humans process inputs about combat (e.g., assessments of formidability) that produce outputs of post-fight respect (e.g., shaking an opponent's hand when the fight ends). Using an online questionnaire (Study 1, n = 132), an in-person questionnaire (Study 2, n = 131), and an in-lab fight simulation (Study 3, n = 58), we investigated whether participants were more likely to receive (Studies 1 and 3) and display (Studies 2 and 3) post-fight respect as a function of the fight outcome (Hypothesis 1), use of fight tactics (Hypothesis 2), fighter asymmetries (Hypothesis 3), fighter ranking (Hypothesis 4), and the presence of witnesses (Hypothesis 5). The results support Hypotheses 1 to 4 concerning expectations of receiving post-fight respect, and support only Hypotheses 2 and 3 concerning displays of post-fight respect. We suggest that post-fight respect signals positive valuations of fighting performance that may function to maintain valuable relationships within the social group.
当前的研究探讨了人类是否会处理有关战斗的输入信息(例如,对可畏性的评估),这些输入信息会产生战斗后的尊重输出(例如,战斗结束时与对手握手)。使用在线问卷(研究 1,n=132)、面对面问卷(研究 2,n=131)和实验室战斗模拟(研究 3,n=58),我们调查了参与者是否更有可能作为战斗结果的函数(假设 1)、战斗策略的使用(假设 2)、战斗者的不对称性(假设 3)、战斗者的排名(假设 4)和证人的存在(假设 5)接受(研究 1 和 3)和展示(研究 2 和 3)战斗后的尊重。研究结果支持关于接受战斗后尊重的期望的假设 1 到 4,并且仅支持关于战斗后尊重展示的假设 2 和 3。我们认为,战斗后的尊重标志着对战斗表现的积极评价,这可能有助于维持社交群体内的有价值关系。
