Abstract: To investigate the effect of group identity on bystanders’ punishment behavior in vicarious exclusion, and to further explore the moderation of the bystanders’ social responsibility, group identities of 58 undergraduates with different social responsibilities were created by using quantity estimation task and completing intergroup vicarious exclusion task via watching cyberball games. Then participants rated each player’s anger and utilized third-party punishment to evaluate players’ performance in the cyberball game. The results showed that the high-social responsibility bystanders experienced stronger anger toward vicarious exclusion and the punishment intensity of them were higher than that of the low-social responsibility bystanders, that is, the anger played a mediating role between social responsibility and punishment when the in-group members were excluded. Moreover, the high-social responsibility bystanders imposed higher intensity of punishment on the out-group excluders than the in-group excluders while the low-social responsibility bystanders imposed higher intensity of punishment on the out-group excluders than the in-group excluders when the out-group members were excluded. The present study provides preliminary evidence that the social responsibility of bystanders moderates their punishment behavior of intergroup vicarious exclusion.

Key words: group identity, vicarious exclusion, social responsibility, third-party punishment, anger

摘要: 为了考察群体身份对替代性排斥中旁观者惩罚行为的影响,并考察旁观者社会责任感的调节作用,采用数量估计任务对58名不同社会责任感大学生创设群体身份,观看网络掷球游戏形成群际替代性排斥,随后评估游戏中各玩家的愤怒情绪,并采用第三方惩罚来表达对各玩家表现的愤怒。结果发现高社会责任旁观者对替代性排斥体验到更强愤怒情绪,并对排斥者施加更高惩罚;高社会责任感个体对排斥组内成员的组外排斥者惩罚强度高于组内排斥者,而低社会责任感个体对排斥组外成员的组外排斥者惩罚强度显著高于组内排斥者。结果表明旁观者社会责任感调节其在群际替代性排斥中的第三方惩罚。
