ABSTRACT

We tested two counter-propaganda strategies for boosting peoples’ resistance to extremist propaganda, one based on Self-Determination Theory and one based on Psychological Reactance theory. Caucasian mTurk worker participants (N = 387) were told they would read extremist messages and were randomly assigned to either a neutral control condition, an autonomy-supportive inoculation condition (‘it is your choice to agree or not’), or a reactance-supportive inoculation condition (‘don’t let them manipulate you’). They then read and rated their agreement with two anti-immigrant extremist messages. Both inoculations produced lower agreement with the extremist messages, compared to the control condition. These effects were independent of participants’ political conservatism and trait reactance, although these person variables were both associated with message agreement. Both the autonomy-support and reactance-support effects were mediated by felt autonomy need-satisfaction, but not by state reactance. Ironically, telling participants that they are free to accept extremist claims may help them to resist such claims.

自治支持和反抗支持接种都增强了对宣传的抵抗,这是由国家自治而不是国家反抗所介导的

摘要

我们测试了两种反宣传策略,以增强人们对极端主义宣传的抵抗力,一种基于自决理论,另一种基于心理反抗理论。白人 mTurk 工人参与者(N = 387)被告知他们会阅读极端主义信息,并被随机分配到中性控制条件、自主支持接种条件(“同意与否由您选择”)或反应-支持性接种条件(“不要让他们操纵你”)。然后,他们阅读并评价他们对两条反移民极端主义信息的同意。与控制条件相比,两种接种对极端主义信息的一致性较低。这些影响独立于参与者的政治保守主义和特质反应,尽管这些人员变量都与消息一致性相关。自主支持和反抗支持效应都受到自主需求满足的调节,但不受国家反抗的影响。具有讽刺意味的是,告诉参与者他们可以自由接受极端主义主张可能有助于他们抵制此类主张。
