群体认同与社会评价对消极群体情绪的影响

Effects of Group Identification and Social Evaluation on Negative Groups’ Emotion

以网络中有关大学生的负面新闻报道为研究材料,考察了面对群体负面信息,群体认同与社会评价对群体情绪的影响。结果发现:不同社会评价只影响低群体认同个体的群体内疚强度。具体而言,正性能力评价和负性道德评价对低群体认同个体的群体内疚具有促进作用;高群体认同个体的群体愤怒始终高于低群体认同个体。结果表明,高群体认同个体的群体内疚不易受社会评价的影响;而低群体认同个体在受到负性道德评价和正性能力评价时,群体内疚体验更强烈;群体愤怒只受群体认同强度影响。

This study used the negative news reports on college students collected from the Internet to investigate the influence of group identification and social evaluation on group-based emotions. The results showed that: different social evaluations only affect the group-based guilt intensity of individuals with low group identity, and, specifically, positive ability evaluation and negative moral evaluation can promote the group-based guilt of individuals with low group identity;and individuals with high group identity are easier to get enraged than those with low group identity. These suggested that group-based guilt of individuals with high group identity is not easily affected by social evaluation whereas group-based guilt experience is stronger when individuals with low group identity received negative moral evaluation and positive ability evaluation, and that group-based anger is only affected by the intensity of group identity.
