Abstract: In order to examined the ″class=competence″ hypothesis and ingroup favoritism hypothesis of Stereotype Content Model(SCM), 108 typical high class individuals and 99 typical low class individuals were chosen as participants. They were required to write at least three groups which they thought was typical high class and typical low class in current china society, then make the ratings on how competent\warm\honest these groups were, using 5-point scales. The results showed that: as SCM predicted, high class groups were regarded as more competent, less friendly, and less honest than low class groups. While subjects′ social class mainly affected the rating on competence, and lower class subjects showed ingroup favoritism on competence ratings, Overall, findings supported the ″class=competence″ hypothesis.

Key words: social class, stereotype, stereotype content model, ingroup favoritism.

摘要: 为探讨社会阶层对刻板印象的影响,选取客观上处于相对高阶层的被试108名和处于相对低阶层的被试99名,请被试对当前中国社会中的典型高低阶层群体进行提名,并对两个群体进行能力-热情-道德三维度的评分。结果发现:(1)被评价者的社会阶层可以预测人们对其形成的刻板印象,高阶层群体被认为是“高能力、低热情、低道德”的,而低阶层群体则被认为是“低能力、高热情、高道德”的。(2)评价者的社会阶层主要影响了能力维度的评价,低阶层被试在能力评价上表现出了对内群体的偏好。整体来看,研究结果支持刻板印象内容模型的社会阶层假设。
