随着数字技术的快速发展，化身--在计算机媒介环境中的人的数字表示--越来越受欢迎。化身允许人们在视觉上表示他们的离线社交身份，或者选择性地使他们的社交身份的某些层在在线环境中不太可识别或不可识别。本研究探讨了非洲裔美国人，其种族身份往往遭受负面刻板印象，刻板印象的威胁时，他们执行了刻板印象相关的任务，与2个表面上的coactors在一个化身代表组设置。2 Feat 2参与者之间的设计操纵种族身份的显着性（显着与不显着）和性能的背景（竞争与合作），并评估参与者坚持一个极具挑战性的刻板印象相关的任务（无法解决的变位）的程度。结果表明，在竞争的背景下，在种族非显着的化身组的参与者坚持在不可解的变位词比那些在种族显着的化身组显着更长的时间;然而，在合作的背景下，没有显着差异之间的两个化身组。研究结果表明，不同类型的化身（身份揭示与身份伪装）的身份相关的威胁的影响不同的身份显着性可能会被调节的背景下，目标个体所处的性能。
With rapid advances in digital technologies, the popularity of avatars - digital representations of people in computer-mediated environments - is growing. Avatars allow people to visually represent their offline social identity, or selectively render certain layer(s) of their social identity less identifiable or unidentifiable in online environments. The present research investigated how African Americans, whose racial identity often suffers negative stereotyping, responded to stereotype threat when they performed a stereotype-relevant task with 2 ostensible coactors in an avatar-represented group setting. A 2 ✕ 2 between-participants design manipulated salience of racial identity (salient vs. nonsalient) and performance context (competition vs. cooperation), and assessed the extent to which participants persisted on an extremely challenging stereotype- relevant task (unsolvable anagram). The results showed that in the context of competition, participants in the race-nonsalient avatar group persisted significantly longer on the unsolvable anagram than did those in the race- salient avatar group; however, in the context of cooperation, no significant difference was found between the 2 avatar groups. The findings indicate that the effects of identity salience as varied by different types of avatars (identity-revealing vs. identity-cloaking) on identity-associated threat may be moderated by the contexts of performance in which the target individuals are situated.
