群际共情偏差对群际态度的影响:基于群体共情理论的视角
The Impact of Intergroup Empathy Bias on Intergroup Attitudes: From the Perspective of Group Empathy Theory
摘要: 群际共情偏差指个体对内群体成员和外群体成员的共情水平不一致的现象,被认为与群际偏见的形成和群际冲突的发生密切相关。群体共情理论则认为,一个群体成员内化和间接体验另一群体成员的认知和情绪情感的过程能够增强其对另一个群体的支持,即使这两个群体之间存在直接的竞争关系,为重新认识群际共情偏差研究提供了新的思路。因此,本研究基于群体共情理论的视角,从群际共情偏差的影响因素、群际共情偏差到群际态度的作用机制等方面对其进行综合论述。未来研究可进一步探讨如何优化干预策略以更有效地化解群际冲突和促进群际合作。
Abstract: Intergroup empathy bias refers to the phenomenon where an individual’s level of empathy towards members of their own group and those of the other group is not consistent. It is considered to be closely related to the formation of intergroup bias and the occurrence of intergroup conflicts. The group empathy theory suggests that the process by which a group member internalizes and indirectly experiences the cognition and emotional feelings of another group member can enhance their support for the other group, even if there is a direct competitive relationship between the two groups. This provides a new perspective for re-understanding the research on intergroup empathy bias. Therefore, this study, based on the perspective of group empathy theory, comprehensively discusses intergroup empathy bias from aspects such as the boundary conditions, moderating factors, and neural mechanisms that influence intergroup attitudes. Future research can further explore how to optimize intervention strategies to more effectively resolve intergroup conflicts and promote intergroup cooperation.
