ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS OF SOCIAL REPRESENTATION

建议进行研究，以检验中心假设和影响 《关联系统理论》(卡尔斯顿出版社)。这一理论 将其他人的认知表征描述为 不同形式的心理表征之间的联系，包括 视觉图像、分类、特征推断、评估、情感 和行为反应、大体取向和行为/情节 回忆。这些不同的起源、相互关系和影响 表征的形式被理论化，以反映 视觉、语言、情感和动作系统，不同形式的 表征被认为是不同的相关关系。 拟议的研究使用了几种不同的方法，包括 自由著录内容的分类及其利用 反应时间法评估不同形式的药物的可及性 代表权。本研究的目标人群包括熟悉的人 其他人以及在范例中呈现的录像刺激者 旨在引起所有形式的表现，包括情感和 行为反应。这些非语言的、以感知者为中心的形式 表征一直被社会认知研究所忽视。这个, 方法论的结合将允许评估 不同形式的心理表征之间的相互关系，以及 允许检验一些新的关于 这种印象内容的产生和利用。

Research is proposed to examine the central assumptions and implications of Associated Systems Theory (Carlston, in press). This theory characterizes cognitive representations of other people as a network of associations among different forms of mental representation, including visual images, categorizations, trait inferences, evaluations, affective and behavioral responses, general orientations and behavioral/episodic memories. The origins, interrelations, and effects of these different forms of representation are theorized to reflect the operations of the visual, verbal, affective and action systems, to which different forms of representation are thought to be differentially related. The proposed research uses several different methodologies, including the classification of the content of free descriptions and the utilization of reaction time methods to assess the accessibility of different forms of representation. The target persons in this research include familiar others as well as videotaped stimulus persons presented within a paradigm intended to elicit all forms of representation, including affective and behavioral responses. These non-verbal, perceiver-focused forms of representation have been neglected by social cognition research. The, combination of methodologies will allow assessment of the interrelationships among diverse forms of mental representation, and permit examination of a number of novel hypotheses regarding the generation and utilization of such impressional content.
