“感觉理解”是积极的人际关系和群体间关系的关键决定因素。然而,为什么感觉理解塑造了群体间关系的问题被忽视了。在与东亚样本进行的群体间关系过程的预注册测试中,我们在一项实验研究中操纵了感觉理解(理解与外组误解)(N=476)。结果支持了这样的期望,即理解将导致更积极的群体间取向和行动意图。平行调解分析的结果表明,感觉理解通过感觉积极的关注间接预测了群体间的结果,组间重叠,和超越刻板印象。此外,事后序贯调解分析的结果表明,感觉理解通过感觉积极的关注和组间重叠间接预测组间结果,其次是群体刻板印象。
\"Felt understanding\" is a crucial determinant of positive interpersonal and intergroup relationships. However, the question of why felt understanding shapes intergroup relations has been neglected. In a pre-registered test of the process in intergroup relations with a sample from East Asia, we manipulated felt understanding (understood versus misunderstood by an outgroup) in an experimental study (N = 476). The results supported the expectation that felt understanding would lead to a more positive intergroup orientation and action intention. The results of parallel mediation analyses showed that felt understanding indirectly predicted intergroup outcomes through felt positive regard, intergroup overlap, and outgroup stereotypes. Furthermore, the results of post-hoc sequential mediation analyses indicated that felt understanding indirectly predicted intergroup outcomes sequentially through felt positive regard and intergroup overlap, followed by outgroup stereotypes.
