ABSTRACT

We sought to measure whether, and to what extent, correlations existed between trait-level cooperation and competition and different forms of intergroup prejudice. We recruited two samples of heterosexual European-American participants (n = 113 and n = 223) from a U.S. national panel survey service. Participants completed measures of racial, gender, and sexual orientation prejudice as questionnaires. In both samples, we found that trait competition tended to positively correlate with explicit measures, such that increasing trait competition was associated with higher degrees of prejudice. Interestingly, we found that different “families” of prejudice had different correlational profiles with trait competition, such that those with racial and gender prejudice had larger magnitudes than sexual orientation prejudice. Separately, trait cooperation only correlated reliably with prejudicial attitudes toward African Americans, such that increasing trait cooperation was associated with lower levels of prejudice.

摘要

我们试图衡量特质层面的合作和竞争与不同形式的群体间偏见之间是否存在相关性，以及在多大程度上存在相关性。我们招募了两个异性恋欧美参与者样本（n = 113 和n= 223) 来自美国国家小组调查服务。参与者完成了种族、性别和性取向偏见的测量问卷。在这两个样本中，我们发现特质竞争往往与显性测量呈正相关，因此特质竞争的增加与更高程度的偏见相关。有趣的是，我们发现不同的偏见“家庭”与特质竞争的相关性不同，因此种族和性别偏见的程度大于性取向偏见。另外，特质合作仅与对非裔美国人的偏见态度可靠相关，因此增加特质合作与较低水平的偏见相关。
