形状-宜人性的内隐联结及其对公平决策的影响

已有研究表明,形状感知与抽象概念之间具有隐喻联结并能够影响个体的判断与决策。当前研究在此基础上提出,不同形状与人格的宜人性存在关联且能够影响个体决策。实验1采用内隐联想范式的变式探讨不同形状与宜人性词汇之间的联系,结果未发现长方形和圆形与宜人性词汇存在内隐联结。实验2采用内隐联想测验探讨圆润面孔与棱角面孔与宜人性词汇之间的联系,结果发现圆润面孔与宜人词、棱角面孔与非宜人词之间存在内隐联结。实验3进一步考察形状与宜人性词汇的联结对公平决策的影响,结果发现圆润面孔更易知觉为宜人,个体更容易接受其作出的不公平分配,而棱角面孔更易知觉为非宜人,个体更容易拒绝其作出的不公平分配; 并且,宜人性感知在面孔形状与被试的接受率之间起中介作用。研究结果表明,圆润形状面孔与宜人词、棱角形状面孔与非宜人词存在隐喻联结,且这一联结能够进一步影响个体公平决策。

Metaphorical Relationship Between Shape and Agreeableness Personality and Its Influence on Fair Decision-making

Previous studies have found that the metaphorical association between shape and abstract concept can affect individual's judgment and decision.This study assumes that there has an association between shape and agreeableness personality,and the association can further influence fair decision-making.Experiment 1 investigated the influence of rounded frame and rectangular frame on agreeableness words judgment.The results showed that there was no implicit association between rectangle or rounded shapes and agreeableness words.Experiment 2 adopted the implicit association test to explore the relationship between the face shape and agreeableness words.The results showed that there was an implicit association between round face and high agreeableness words; angular face and low agreeableness words.Experiment 3 further explored the influence of metaphorical association between shape and agreeableness on fair decision.The results showed that round face was more likely to be perceived high agreeableness,and participants accepted more under unfair offers.Angular face was more likely to be perceived low agreeableness,and participants refused more under unfair offers.Agreeableness mediated the relationship between the face shape and the acceptance.The results indicated that there was an implicit association between round faces and high agreeableness words; angular faces and low agreeableness words,and this association can further influence individual's fair decision.
