少数人群体精神需求的满足促进对多数人群体的积极态度

The Spiritual Ingroup needs of the Minority Group Improve Their Positive Attitudes Toward the Majority Group

根据内群体投射模型理论,认为内群体比其他群体更能代表上位群体的程度即相对内群体原型(Relative Ingroup Prototypicality,RIP)。RIP受到群体规模的影响,当少数人群体认为多数人群体比自身群体更能代表上位群体(例如中国人)时,就会表现出外群体投射(outgroup projection)和较低的RIP。以往研究发现,少数人群体较低的外群体投射(较高的RIP)可促进其对多数人群体的积极态度。本研究要探索少数人群体内群体需求的满足程度是否可以降低外群体投射,促进其对多数人群体的积极态度。以有独特文化的少数人群体为被试(N=118),通过图片分类任务操纵他们的内群体需求(精神需求组/物质需求组/控制组),探讨其对外群体投射和对多数人群体态度的影响。实验结果表明,少数人群体内群体需求的满足程度能够降低外群体投射,并促进其对多数人群体的积极态度。少数人群体精神需求的满足比物质需求的满足更能降低外群体投射,促进其对多数人群体的积极态度。

Based on ingroup projection model,the subgroup often declares its present ingroup as more prototypical for a given superordinate group than other subgroups,and show high relative ingroup prototypicality(RIP).However,the minority group may be constrained by group size and therefore may present low RIP and outgroup projection(i.e.,declaring the majority group is more prototypical for the superordinate group than their own group).Our previous research found the minority group’high RIP increased positive attitude to the majority group.The present research(N=118)explored whether ingroup needs of the minority group who has distinctive culture could decrease their outgroup projection and improve positive attitude to the majority group.We manipulated the minority group’s ingroup needs by image classification task(spiritual ingroup needs&material ingroup needs&control group),and tested the effect of ingroup needs on the outgroup projection and outgroup attitudes.The results indicated that the minority group’s satisfaction of spiritual ingroup needs decreased more outgroup projection and increased more positive outgroup attitudes than their satisfaction of material ingroup needs.
