In two studies, we investigated how Hong Kong university students reacted to descriptions of China as multicultural vs. assimilatory, examining effects on emotions, prejudice toward Mainland Chinese, attitudes toward Hong Kong/China culture mixing, and cultural identities. Study 1 compared a multicultural priming condition to a control condition and found that the multiculturalism prime significantly reduced desire to socially distance from Mainland Chinese. Study 2 compared multiculturalism, assimilation, or control primes' effects, and found that the multiculturalism prime, through increased positive emotions, indirectly reduced social distancing from Mainland Chinese and disgust toward culture mixing, and increased Chinese ethnic identity and multicultural identity styles; the assimilation prime had the opposite indirect effects through increasing negative emotions. Results show new evidence of the importance of emotion in how non-immigrant regional groups, who are both minority and majority culture members, react to different diversity models. Multicultural frames increased positive emotions, with downstream positive effects on both intergroup attitudes and integrated identities.
在两项研究中，我们调查了香港大学生对将中国描述为多元文化与同化文化的反应，考察了对情绪、对中国大陆人的偏见、对香港/中国文化融合的态度以及文化身份认同的影响。研究1将多元文化启动条件与控制条件进行了比较，发现多元文化启动显著降低了与中国大陆人保持社交距离的意愿。研究2比较了多元文化主义、同化或控制启动的效果，发现多元文化启动通过增加积极情绪，间接减少了与中国大陆人的社交距离和对文化融合的厌恶，并增强了中国民族身份认同和多元文化身份认同风格；同化启动则通过增加消极情绪产生相反的间接效果。结果显示了新的证据，证明情绪在少数族裔和多数族裔文化成员的非移民地区群体如何对不同的多样性模式做出反应方面具有重要性。多元文化框架增加了积极情绪，对群体间态度和整合身份认同都产生了下游积极影响。
