先前的研究表明，平均而言，人们经历的愤怒，恐惧和其他高唤醒消极状态（HAN）越多，他们对外群表达的偏见和伤害就越多。在这里，我们证明，重视HAN-以上和实际经历HAN-增加了人们在日常生活中对文化外群体造成伤害的可能性。在研究1中，美国欧洲裔美国人（N = 227）阅读假设场景，其中另一个文化群体的成员在学校，工作或家庭让他们感到不舒服。正如预测的那样，参与者越想感受到HAN，他们在这些场景中对外群成员的反应就越消极（即，他们感觉到的HAN越多，他们就越认为有害的行为是适当的，他们就越有可能参与这些行为）。为了评估普遍性，在研究2中，我们提供了来自加拿大（n = 162）和台湾（n = 170）的证据，尽管在特定类型的HAN的估值中存在文化差异，但想要感受HAN仍然可以预测两种文化中对文化外群的负面反应。这些发现提出了一种有趣的可能性，即降低人们对HAN的评价可能在增加多元文化社会对文化多样性的容忍度方面发挥重要作用。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2022阿帕，保留所有权利）。
Previous research demonstrates that the more people experience anger, fear, and other high arousal negative states (HAN) on average, the more prejudice and harm they express toward outgroups. Here we demonstrate that valuing HAN-above and beyond actually experiencing HAN-increases people's likelihood of engaging in harm toward cultural outgroups in everyday life. In Study 1, U.S. European Americans (N = 227) read hypothetical scenarios in which a member of another cultural group at school, work, or home made them uncomfortable. As predicted, the more participants ideally wanted to feel HAN, the more negatively they responded to the outgroup member in these scenarios (i.e., the more HAN they felt, the more they viewed harmful actions as appropriate, and the more likely they were to engage in these actions). To assess generalizability, in Study 2, we provide evidence from Canada (n = 162) and Taiwan (n = 170) that despite cultural differences in the valuation of specific types of HAN, wanting to feel HAN still predicted negative responses toward cultural outgroups in both cultures. These findings raise the intriguing possibility that reducing people's valuation of HAN might play an important role in increasing tolerance of cultural diversity in multicultural societies.
