刻板印象信息常借助人际关系链得以沟通和传递。而沟通是一种社会情境活动,故人们对信息的沟通和传递依赖于沟通的社会背景,关系亲密度是其中的一个重要因素。关系亲密度指的是沟通者间相互依赖和了解的程度,以自我包含他人量表得分作为判断指标。本研究的目的即为扩展已有的刻板印象沟通研究,采用Ruscher等人提出的二人对话范式,通过两个实验探索关系亲密度如何影响人们在谈话过程中对刻板印象相关信息的沟通和传递。实验1中的关系亲密度由自然存在模式建构,共32对同性别被试参与;实验2中的关系亲密度由RCIT三阶段自我表露任务实验室诱发模式建构,共38对同性别被试参与。所用的沟通材料均为Klein等人编制的刻板印象信息故事,并使用自我包含他人量表检核关系亲密度。实验均为2×2×2三因素混合设计,其中,关系亲密度(陌生人和朋友)为被试间因素,刻板印象信息的一致性(刻板印象一致信息与刻板印象不一致信息)和故事情节的核心性(核心和次要)为被试内因素。在实验1中,三因素方差分析的结果显示,刻板印象信息的一致性主效应显著,核心性主效应显著,刻板印象信息的一致性和关系亲密度的交互作用显著。在陌生人关系条件下,被试传递的刻板印象一致信息显著多于不一致信息;而在朋友关系条件下,被试并没有显示出这种刻板印象一致性偏差,反而传递了稍多的刻板印象不一致信息。在实验2中,三因素方差分析的结果显示,刻板印象信息的一致性主效应边缘显著,核心性主效应显著,刻板印象信息的一致性和关系亲密度的交互作用显著。在陌生人关系条件下,被试传递的刻板印象一致信息显著多于不一致信息;而在朋友关系条件下,被试并没有显示出刻板印象一致性偏差,反而传递了稍多的刻板印象不一致信息。因此,可以认为人们倾向于向陌生人传递显著更多的刻板印象一致信息,而向朋友则未显示出这种特点。谈话中,关系亲密度影响刻板印象信息的沟通和传递。 Stereotypes often rely on interpersonal chain to communicate and pass. Communication is a kind of social situation activity. Therefore, people’s communication and transmission of information depends on the social background of communication. The relationship intimacy is one of the important factors. Relational intimacy refers to the degree of interdependence and understanding among communicators, using self-contained scores of others as indicators of judgment. The purpose of this study is to extend the existing study of stereotype communication and to use the two-person dialogue paradigm proposed by Ruscher et al. To explore how the relationship intimacy affects the communication and transfer of stereotype-related information during conversation . The relationship intimacy in Experiment 1 was constructed by natural existence model, and 32 pairs of same sex subjects were involved. The relationship intimacy in Experiment 2 was constructed by RCIT three-phase self-disclosure task lab-induced model. A total of 38 pairs of same-sex participants . The communication materials used were all stereotyped information stories compiled by Klein et al. And the self-inclusion scale was used to check the relationship intimacy. The experiments were all based on a 2 × 2 × 2 three-factor mixed design. Among them, relationship intimacy (stranger and friend) was the inter-trial factor, the consistency of stereotyped information (inconsistent stereotyped information and stereotyped inconsistent information) and the storyline The core (core and secondary) subjects were the internal factors. In the experiment 1, the results of three-factor analysis of variance showed that the main effect of the consistency of the stereotyped information is significant, the core of the main effect is significant, the consistency of the stereotyped information and the interaction of the relationship of intimacy are significant. In the condition of stranger relationship, the participants’ consistent information of stereotyped impression is significantly more than the inconsistent information; under the condition of friend relationship, the subjects did not show the discrepancy of consistency of stereotype, but passed a little more stereotype Inconsistent information. In experiment 2, the results of three-way analysis of variance showed that the main effect of consistency of stereotyped information was significant edge, significant central core effect, and the interaction of stereotyped information consistency and relationship intimacy was significant. Under the conditions of strangers’ relationship, subjects’ consistent information of stereotyped impression is more than that of inconsistent information. However, under the condition of friends’ relationship, the subjects did not show the discrepancy of stereotypes, but transmitted slightly more stereotyped inconsistent information . Therefore, one can think of people as having tended to convey significantly more stereotyped and consistent information to strangers, but not to friends. In conversation, relationship intimacy affects the communication and delivery of stereotyped information.
