Respekt, Missachtung und die Bereitschaft zur internationalen Kooperation

我们计划的研究是基于一个正在进行的DFG项目，该项目分析了尊重和不尊重外交政策合作的意义。到目前为止，其结果表明，这种经历经常以现有理论难以解释的方式影响政府的短期行为。然而，不充分的地位承认的长期后果仍然不清楚。在此背景下，我们的新项目将调查反复发生的不尊重行为是否会刺激普遍存在的不满情绪的出现，从而长期抑制国际合作。我们从社会心理学的最新研究中得出了关于情感刻板印象的出现、表达和含义的相关假设。通过对正在进行的项目(第一次世界大战前的德英关系和第二次世界大战后的印美关系)中已经探讨的两个案例进行语篇分析，我们试图找出这些心理学见解是否也适用于大群体，如国家。具体地说，该项目旨在调查主观上经历的不尊重是否促进了对英国和美国道德素质的负面刻板印象，这些刻板印象反过来被用作反对与这些国家合作的理由。因此，该项目旨在对跨界不尊重事件的潜在长期后果产生新的见解，并可能有助于提醒政治实践者注意这些问题。

Our planned research is based on an ongoing DFG project which analyses the significance of respect and disrespect for foreign policy cooperation. So far, its results indicate that such experiences frequently influence the short-term behavior of governments in ways that established theories can hardly explain. However, the long-term consequences of inadequate status recognition are still unclear. Against this backdrop, our new project will investigate if the repeated experience of disrespect stimulates the emergence of widely shared resentments, thereby inhibiting international cooperation in the long run. We derive pertinent hypotheses concerning the emergence, articulation, and implications of affective stereotypes from recent studies in social psychology. By conducting a discourse analysis of the two cases already explored in the ongoing project (German-British relations before World War I and Indian-American relations after World War II) we attempt to find out whether those psychological insights also apply to large groups, such as nations. Specifically, the project is meant to examine if subjectively experienced disrespect promoted negative stereotypes about the moral quality of Great Britain and the United States which, in turn, were used as arguments against cooperation with these states. The project is thus intended to yield new insights about the potential long-term consequences of cross-border incidents of disrespect and might also be useful for alerting political practitioners to such issues.
