Abstract:
Displaying nonverbal pride after a boxing match leads to judgements of success. However, it is not clear the extent to which this effect generalises nor whether it can override competing information. An experimental design had 214 participants watch two boxing clips that were manipulated so that one was evenly matched and the other had a fighter with an advantage (i.e. demonstrating more skill). Nonverbal behaviour at the completion of the fight varied between fighters (pride versus neutral). When the fight was evenly matched, the fighters displaying nonverbal pride were judged as winning the fight, but the fighter did not garner increased social influence. In contrast, when fighters demonstrated superior skill, the more skilled fighters who displayed neutral postures rather than the less-skilled ones displaying pride were judged as winning the fight, and the skilled fighters garnered increased social influence. These results suggest that in a boxing context, a pride bias works in evenly matched scenarios, but when differences in skill are more clearly present, a skill bias is more pronounced and leads to more social influence. Furthermore, perceptions of skill were associated with judgments of victory across stimuli, suggesting the importance of skill perceptions in such judgments.
摘要:
在拳击比赛后显示非语言骄傲会导致对成功的判断。然而,目前尚不清楚这种影响在多大程度上是普遍的,也不清楚它是否可以超越竞争信息。一项实验设计让214名参与者观看两个拳击剪辑,这些拳击剪辑被操纵,以便一个被均匀匹配,另一个具有优势(即展示更多技能)的战斗机。战斗结束时的非语言行为在战士之间有所不同(骄傲与中立)。当战斗势均力敌时,表现出非语言骄傲的战士被认为赢得了战斗,但是战斗机并没有获得更大的社会影响力。相比之下,当战士表现出卓越的技能时,表现中立姿态的技术更高的战士,而不是表现自豪感的技术更低的战士,被判定为赢得了战斗,熟练的战士获得了更大的社会影响力。这些结果表明,在拳击环境中,骄傲偏见在势均力敌的情况下起作用,但是当技能差异更明显地存在时,技能偏见更加明显,并导致更多的社会影响力。此外,对技能的感知与跨刺激的胜利判断相关,表明技能感知在这种判断中的重要性。
