元刻板印象威胁对医患关系的影响:群际焦虑的中介作用

Meta-Stereotype Threat Effects on Doctor-Patient Relationship:Mediating Effects of Intergroup Anxiety

社会认知理论表明,元刻板印象是影响群际关系的重要变量,元刻板印象威胁对群际关系具有破坏作用,且群际焦虑是元刻板印象威胁和群际关系之间的重要中介变量。因此,本研究采用实验法探讨元刻板印象威胁对医患关系的影响及其内在作用机制,将47名医生和58名患者随机分配到元刻板印象威胁组和无元刻板印象威胁组。结果表明：威胁组被试的群际焦虑水平显著高于无威胁组,医患关系评价显著低于无威胁组;医生群体对医患关系的评价显著低于患者;群际焦虑在元刻板印象与医患关系间起完全中介作用。

The social cognitive theory indicates that meta-stereotype affects intergroup relations widely and meta-stereotype threat has a destructive effect on intergroup relations. In addition,intergroup anxiety plays an important mediatingrole between meta-stereotype threat and intergroup relations. Thus,this paper explores the internal mechanism between meta-stereotype manipulation and doctorpatient relationship by means of the experimental method. Forty-seven doctors and fifty-eight patients were randomly assigned to a meta-stereotype threat( MST)group and a non-MST group. The results indicate:( 1) The intergroup anxiety under the meta-stereotype threat( MST) condition was higher than the case of non-MST condition, doctor-patient relationship of M ST condition was worse than the case of non-MST condition,the doctor-patient relationship among doctors was worse than the patients’.( 2) Intergroup anxiety entirely mediates the effects of meta-stereotype on doctor-patient relationship.
