拓展接触改善群际态度:自我表露的中介作用

The Effect of Extended Contact on Intergroup Attitude:The Mediating Role of Self-closure

基于拓展接触假设及其相关研究,以新疆维吾尔自治区高校的181名维吾尔族大学生为对象来探究积极和消极两种效价的拓展接触对群际态度的影响以及自我表露的中介作用。结果表明,积极拓展接触显著多于消极拓展接触且二者低相关;自我表露在积极拓展接触、消极拓展接触对群际态度的影响中起中介作用。自我表露是解释拓展接触效应的重要因素,在增进积极拓展接触的同时也要关注消极拓展接触的降低。

Basing on the extended contact hypothesis and its research, 181 Uyghur college students were selected to investigate the effect of two different valence of contact, that is, positive and negative extended contact, on intergroup attitude, and whether self-closure served as a mediator. The results showed that positive extended contact occurred more frequently than negative extended contact and they were weakly correlated with each other. Furthermore, self-closure mediated the relationship between positive and negative extended contact and intergroup attitude. Self-closure was an important factor that could explain extended contact effect and attention shall be paid to increasing the frequency of positive extended contact as well as reducing the frequency of negative extended contact.
