We hypothesised that sense of home serves as a buffer against self‐threat. In three experiments, we induced sense of home (vs. control) and assessed its buffering function to threat. Sense of home augmented openness to stereotype threat information (Experiment 1), increased performance on a spatial rotation ability test after stereotype threat (Experiment 2), and reduced the desire for high‐status products following mortality salience (Experiment 3). This “proof of concept” research establishes the buffering potential of sense of home and raises theoretical and practical implications.

自我缓冲感对自我的威胁

我们假设家的感觉可以防止自我威胁。在三个实验中，我们诱导了归属感（相对于对照），并评估了其对威胁的缓冲作用。家庭意识增强了对刻板印象威胁信息的开放性（实验1），在刻板印象威胁之后提高了空间旋转能力测试的性能（实验2），并降低了因病死率而对高状态产品的需求（实验3）。这项“概念验证”研究建立了家庭意识的缓冲潜力，并提出了理论和实践意义。
