消极刻板印象和群际焦虑:阻碍群际交往的重要因素

消极刻板印象和群际焦虑是阻碍群际交往的重要因素。基于群际接触理论和群际焦虑理论模型,测量了少数民族和汉族交往时的群际焦虑水平、彼此持有的刻板印象和外群体态度等变量,考查了这些变量的特征及关系。结果表明:(1)汉族在群际交往过程中的群际焦虑水平显著高于少数民族;(2)女性比男性持有更积极的外群体态度;(3)消极刻板印象是产生群际焦虑和偏见态度的重要原因。减少消极刻板印象、降低群际焦虑是促进群际交往的重要途径。

Negative Stereotypes and Intergroup Anxiety:An Important Factor Hindering Intergroup Interaction

Based on the theoretical model of intergroup anxiety,598 college students in a mixed University of a provincial capital city in the northwest of China were selected as the research subjects.The intergroup anxiety level of minority and Han students,the stereotype and the out-group attitude are measured,and the characteristics and relationships of these variables are examined.The results showed that:There were obvious intergroup anxiety in the interaction process of minority and Han students,and the intergroup anxiety of the majority group Han is higher than minority ethnic group members; women had more positive out-group attitude than men; negative stereotype was the important cause of intergroup anxiety and prejudice attitude.Therefore,in the practice of promoting cross group interaction,by creating the opportunity of intergroup contact,reducing negative stereotype and reducing intergroup anxiety,the intergroup interaction can be promoted and the intergroup relationship can be improved.
