权力感对攻击行为的影响:基于竞争反应时任务的研究

The Influence of Sense of Power on Aggressive Behavior: A Study Based on Competitive Reaction Time Task

实验研究了权力感与攻击行为的关系。在实验中,通过情境回忆的任务启动被试的权力感,接着采用竞争反应时任务范式测量被试的攻击行为,考察权力感启动对攻击行为的影响。结果发现:启动高权力感的被试在竞争反应时任务中选择的噪音惩罚等级显著高于控制组被试。这一结果说明权力感会增加个体的攻击行为。文章最后对权力导致攻击行为增加的原因作了讨论。

The experiment studies the relationship between the sense of power and aggressive behavior. In the experiment, the participants’ sense of power was initiated by the context recall task, and then the competitive reaction time task paradigm was used to measure the aggressive behavior of the participants, and examined the influence of the sense of power on aggressive behavior. The results showed that the level of noise penalty selected by the participants with high sense of power in the competitive reaction time task was significantly higher than that of the control group. This result suggests that the sense of power increases the individual’s aggressive behavior. The article concludes with a discussion of the reasons for the increase in power-induced aggression.
