名校效应真的存在?——来自心理学的证据

文章研究通过社会地位的划分,从社会声望,社会资源和社会影响力三个角度区分名校与非名校,之后进一步探究个体对名校生是否存在刻板印象。结果显示:1.社会声望,社会资源和社会影响力三个维度都能很好的衡量出名校与非名校的差异。2.个体对名校生热情和道德产生了显著的低估。研究从心理学的角度,将主观社会地位差异引入群体间差异度量,完善了在刻板印象对象群体划分时的边界模糊,对刻板印象研究的推广具有一定的帮助。

This paper distinguishes elite school and normal school by the social status, comprising the social prestige, the social resource and the social power, and studies whether people have the stereotype of the students in elite school. The result reveals that three parts of social status all measure the differences between those two kinds of school and people significantly underestimate the warmth and the ethics of those elite students. From the psychological view, the paper introduces the differences of subjective social status into the measurements of group differences and improves the vague standard of distinguishing groups with stereotype, which has certain help to the development of stereotype study.
