主观社会地位对人工智能负面态度的预测作用:一个有调节的中介模型

The Predictive Effect of Subjective Social Status on Negative Attitudes towards Artificial Intelligence: A Moderated Mediation Model

人工智能的快速发展正在冲击和改变我们的生活和工作,主观社会地位较低的个体可能从中感到工作、资源或权利被剥夺的威胁,从而产生对人工智能研究进一步发展的负面态度。为探讨主观社会地位对人工智能研究态度的影响及其心理机制,本研究采用主观社会地位量表、人工智能威胁感知量表、自由意志和决定量表的分量表等收集482份有效问卷。结果发现:1) 主观社会地位能够负向预测个体对人工智能的负面态度;2) 人工智能威胁感知在主观社会地位和人工智能负面态度间起部分中介作用;3) 个体对自由意志的信念调节了“主观社会地位–人工智能威胁感知”这一路径。研究对进一步推动人工智能的研究发展有积极意义。

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) is profoundly impacting and transforming our lives and work. Individuals with lower subjective social status may perceive threats of job displacement, resource deprivation, or loss of rights from AI’s advancements, leading to negative attitudes towards further research in AI. To investigate the impact of subjective social status on attitudes towards AI research and its psychological mechanisms, this study collected 482 valid questionnaires using scales such as the Subjective SES Scale and components of the Free Will and Determinism Scale. The results revealed that: 1) Subjective social status negatively predicts individuals’ negative attitudes towards AI;2) Perceived AI threat partially mediates the relationship between subjective social status and negative AI attitudes;3) Individuals’ belief in free will moderates the “subjective social status-AI threat perception” path. This study provides valuable insights for further promoting the research and development of AI.
