Abstract

Increasingly remote concepts and behaviors have been primed, which have come under increasing criticism. In this present experiment, we take a step back and try to strengthen the roots of priming research. In this experiment, we systematically varied the activation or priming of a concept in six experiments (N = 1285). We then measured accessibility for semantic concepts using a word stem completion task. Across the six experiments, our investigations showed that the activation of semantic concepts is possible through greater accessibility of semantically congruent words (with only one experiment failing to reach a conventional level of significance). These results provide a prerequisite for further investigation into behavioral priming. The present experiment showed that the basal priming mechanisms are robust effects. The meta-analytic integration showed that women reliably had access to more baby-related words. A possible explanation is that social role stereotypes associate women more with the reproductive sphere than men and that women, to a certain extent, internalize these societal views. Other explanations and potential future applications are discussed.

摘要

越来越多的偏远概念和行为受到了批评，越来越受到批评。在本实验中，我们退后一步，尝试加强启动研究的根源。在此实验中，我们通过六个实验系统地改变了一个概念的激活或启动（N = 1285）。然后，我们使用词干完成任务来测量语义概念的可访问性。在这六个实验中，我们的研究表明，可以通过语义一致的单词的更大可访问性来激活语义概念（只有一个实验未能达到常规的显着性水平）。这些结果为进一步研究行为启动提供了前提。本实验表明，基础启动机制具有鲁棒性。荟萃分析的整合表明，妇女确实可以使用更多与婴儿有关的单词。一个可能的解释是，社会角色定型观念使妇女与生殖领域的联系比男子更多，而且妇女在一定程度上将这些社会观点内在化了。
