Research during the 1960s found that observers could be moved enough by an innocent victim's suffering to derogate their character. However, recent research has produced inconsistent evidence for this effect. We conducted the first meta-analysis (k = 55) of the experimental literature on the victim derogation effect to test the hypothesis that it varies as a function of the emotional impactfulness of the context for observers. We found that studies which employed more impactful contexts (e.g., that were real and vivid) reported larger derogation effects. Emotional impact was, however, confounded by year of appearance, such that older studies reported larger effects and were more impactful. To disentangle the role of emotional impact, in two primary experiments we found that more impactful contexts increased the derogation of an innocent victim. Overall, the findings advance our theoretical understanding of the contexts in which observers are more likely to derogate an innocent victim.

受害者,小插图和视频:情感影响会加剧无辜受害者贬损的荟萃分析和实验证据。

1960年代的研究发现,观察者可能会因无辜受害者的痛苦而受到影响,足以贬低他们的性格。但是,最近的研究对此产生不一致的证据。我们对受害人的克减效果进行了实验文献的首次荟萃分析(k = 55),以检验其随观察者的情境变化而变化的假说。我们发现,采用更具影响力的语境(例如真实而生动)的研究报告了更大的克减效果。然而,情感影响会因出现的年份而混淆,因此较早的研究报告了较大的影响并且影响更大。为了弄清情感影响的作用,我们在两个主要实验中发现,更具影响力的语境增加了无辜受害者的贬损。
