善意的性别偏见与依赖定向帮助的关系：人际知觉的调节作用

The Relationship between Benevolent Sexism and Dependency-Oriented Help: The Manipulating Role of Interpersonal Perception

摘要: 本研究主要基于群际帮助关系作为权力关系模型，探讨了善意的性别偏见与依赖定向帮助之间的关系，以及人际知觉在此关系中的作用。首先我们根据刻板印象内容模型中温暖和能力两个维度编制了能够表现出帮助对象在这两个维度上存在显著差异的描述材料，接着以被试间的形式让被试根据不同的描述材料假想出一个需要帮助的女性或男性熟人，并根据问卷中的情境表明自己愿意对其提供依赖定向帮助的可能性。结果发现，男性的善意性别偏见预测了其对女性提供依赖定向帮助的倾向，并且男性感知到女性的能力和符合传统性别角色的程度在其中起到了调节作用。研究表明，善意的性别偏见这种看似积极的态度以一种更加微妙而隐晦(即依赖定向帮助)的方式维持而非挑战现有的性别层级，而挑战传统性别角色的女性会在这种看似温暖而无害的帮助下受到更多的束缚与无形的压制。

Abstract: The present research, drawing on the Intergroup Helping as Power Relations Model, investigated the relationship between benevolent sexism and dependency-oriented help, as well as the manipulating role of interpersonal perception in this relationship. First, according to the two dimensions of warmth and competence in the Stereotype Content Model, we work out a descriptive material that shows significant differences in the two dimensions of the help receivers. Then, subjects are required to imagine a male or female acquaintance who needs help in the form of inter group and indicate the probabilities that they will provide dependency-oriented help to him or her according to the situations in the questionnaire. The results found that benevolent sexism predicts men’s preference to provide women with dependency-oriented help, in which men perceived women’s competence and the extent to which women conform to the role of traditional gender roles play moderating roles. Research shows that although it seems positive, benevolent sexism prefers to maintain rather than challenge the existing gender levels in a more subtle and obscure way (i.e. dependency-oriented help). Women who try to challenge the traditional sex role will suffer more shackles and invisible suppression under this seemingly warm and harmless help.
