先前的研究表明,即使是外群体成员的排斥也是令人厌恶的。在这项研究中,我们研究了被一种特殊类型的外群体,一个被鄙视的外群体,排斥是否足以造成情绪困扰。我们使用Cyberball(一种在线掷球游戏)操纵排斥。与被排斥者相比,被排斥者的归属感、自尊心、控制感和有意义的存在感较低,而且情绪更消极。此外,被鄙视的外群体成员排斥,并不比被竞争的外群体或内群体成员排斥更令人厌恶。然而,参与者在群体之间进行了区分;只有当他们的合作者是被鄙视的外群体的成员时,被排斥的个体才比被包括的参与者报告了更大的外群体消极性。我们将这些结果解释为排斥的强大影响和潜在重要性的证据。区别不同的外群版权所有(C)2006约翰威利父子有限公司
Previous research has shown that ostracism even by outgroup members is aversive. In this study we examined whether ostracism by a particular type of outgroup, a despised outgroup, was sufficient to inflict emotional distress. We manipulated ostracism using Cyberball, an on-line ball toss game. Ostracized participants reported lower levels of belonging, self-esteem, control, and meaningful existence, and more negative mood, than included participants. Moreover, ostracism by despised outgroup members was no less aversive than ostracism by rival outgroup or ingroup members. Participants differentiated between the groups, however; ostracized individuals reported greater outgroup negativity than included participants only when their co-players were members of the despised outgroup. We interpret these results as evidence for the powerful impact of ostracism and the potential importance of. distinguishing between qualitatively different outgroups.
