【摘要】 元刻板印象是指个体关于外群体成员对其所属群体所持刻板印象的信念或看法,其效价可以是消极的、中性的或积极的,但以往研究较多集中于考察消极元刻板印象对群际关系的影响,关于积极元刻板印象的研究较为缺乏。本研究以196名农村留守儿童为被试,采用指导语操控的方式随机分为积极元刻板印象激活组(积极组)、消极元刻板印象激活组(消极组)和元刻板印象未激活组(控制组),考察不同效价元刻板印象对农村留守儿童群际关系的影响。结果发现:(1)积极组群际关系水平(50.15±6.86)显著高于消极组(43.42±6.00)和控制组(46.92±8.09),控制组显著高于消极组,p <0.01;消极组群际焦虑水平(35.30±9.18)显著高于积极组(28.29±12.56)和控制组(29.50±10.86),p <0.01,积极组和控制组差异不显著, p>0.05;(2)积极元刻板印象正向预测群际关系(β=0.43,SE=0.18,p <0.05),消极元刻板印象负向预测群际关系(β=-0.47,SE=0.17,p <0.01);(3)群际焦虑在消极元刻板印象和农村留守儿童群际关系之间起完全中介作用(β=-0.17,SE=0.06,p <0.01),在积极元刻板印象中不起中介作用(p> 0.05)。因此农村留守儿童积极元刻板印象激活后出现促进效应。更多还原

【Abstract】 Metastereotype refers to a person’s beliefs regarding the stereotype that out-group members hold about their own group, their valance can be negative, neutral, or positive, most of the previous studies focused on the impact of negative metastereotype on intergroup relations, while the research on positive metastereotype was relatively lacking. The study aimed to explore the effects of different valance metastereotypes on intergroup relations of left-behind children. A sample of 196 left-behind children from the primary schools in Jiangsu province participated in the present study. Participants were randomly assigned to the negative metastereotype activation,positive metastereotype activation or the control condition according to different instructions. Then all participants completed the Intergroup Anxiety and Intergroup Relation scale. Results were as follows:(1) The intergroup relation under the positive metastereotype activation condition(50.15 ± 6.86) was higher than the case of the negative metastereotype(43.42 ± 6.00) and control condition(46.92 ± 8.09), and there was significant difference between negative metastereotype activation and the control condition, p < 0.01; The intergroup anxiety under the negative metastereotype activation condition(35.30 ± 9.18) was higher than the case of the positive metastereotype(28.29 ±12.56) and control condition(29.50 ± 10.86), p < 0.01, but there was no significant difference between positive metastereotype activation and the control condition, p > 0.05.(2) Positive metastereotype could positively impact intergroup relations(β = 0.43, SE = 0.18, p < 0.05), while negative metastereotype could negatively impact intergroup relations(β =-0.47, SE = 0.17, p < 0.01).(3) Intergroup anxiety is a significant completely mediator between the negative metastereotype and intergroup relations(β =-0.17, SE = 0.06, p < 0.01), but not in positive metastereotype,p > 0.05. In conclusion, activating the negative metastereotype of left-behind children could produce threat effect,while activating positive metastereotype could have the promotion effect.更多还原
