通过两项研究，我们测试了性格受害者敏感性是否涉及两种偏见处理方式中的一种：一种是不公正而非公正信息比中立信息更容易和准确处理的处理方式，另一种是不公正和公正信息比中立信息更优先处理的处理方式。在研究1中，受害者敏感性增加了参与者在决议产生不公正内涵的情况下解决歧义句子片段的速度，以及在决议产生公正内涵的情况下，但当决议在正义方面是中立的时候，则没有。在研究2中，受害者敏感性高的人在1周的记忆间隔内，对不公正和公正信息的记忆表现都比中性信息强。研究结果与受害者敏感性以非正义和正义概念的激活电位和细化为特征的假设相一致。我们的发现对于理解对受害者敏感的人对被剥削的恐惧是如何形成反社会行为的很重要。版权所有：John Wiley & Sons， Ltd
With two studies, we tested whether dispositional victim sensitivity involves one of two kinds of biased processing style: either a processing style in which unjustbut not justinformation is processed more readily and accurately than neutral information or a processing style in which unjust and just information is processed preferentially over neutral information. In Study 1, victim sensitivity increased the speed with which participants resolved ambiguous sentence fragments in cases in which the resolution yielded an unjust connotation, as well as in cases in which the resolution yielded a just connotation, but not when the resolution was neutral with respect to justice. In Study 2, persons high in victim sensitivity displayed enhanced memory performance for both unjust and just information relative to neutral information over a 1-week retention interval. The results are consistent with the assumption that victim sensitivity is characterized by the activation potential and elaboration of both injustice and justice concepts. Our findings are important for the understanding of how the fear of being exploited among victim-sensitive persons shapes antisocial behaviour. Copyright (C) 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
