本研究以刻板印象内容模式为基础，考察了2008年北京奥运会期间内地和香港华人对中国的历史表征和未来想象。在中国大陆人中，中国前所未有的经济增长和由此产生的价值竞争导致了对未来中国更有能力的预期（与现在相比;“更好的明天效应”）和对过去中国更温暖和更道德的看法（与现在相比;“过去的好日子效应”）。随着奥运会的进行，人们对能力和热情/道德的兼容性的感知增加了，过去的好日子效应减弱了。香港华人同样见证了中国的发展，但没有直接体验到全球化在中国大陆的文化影响，他们只表现出明天更好的效应。
Based on the stereotype content model, we examined Mainland and Hong Kong Chinese' historical representations and future imaginations of China during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Among Mainland Chinese, China's unprecedented economic growth and the resulted value competition led to the expectation of a more competent China in the future (vs now; a ‘better tomorrow effect’) and a perception of a warmer and more moral China in the past (vs now; the ‘good old days effect’). As the Olympics proceeded, the perceived compatibility of competence and warmth/morality increased and the good old days effect diminished. Hong Kong Chinese, who also witnessed China's growth but did not directly experience the cultural implications of globalization in Mainland China, displayed the better tomorrow effect only.
