Abstract

This study was conducted to explore whether an automatic evaluation effect (i.e.,congruency effect and positive priming effect) of emotional properties which have been found in the racial prejudice study can be applied to the gender properties. Experiment 1 employing a short SOA (150ms-250ms) naming task showed a priming effect was larger in the positive prime-positive target condition than negative prime-negative target condition but not congruent effect. Experiment 2 employing a long SOA (500ms-1000ms) naming task didn't yield either positive priming effect or congruency effect. The congruency effect and the positive priming effect which is ubiquitous phenomenon in the generic cognitive concepts network were not found in the gender properties. Therefore, it was suggested that the social information including prejudice or stereotype can be differently processed according to the value of emotionality.

본 연구는 남녀 성별 성격 특성단어에 대한 정서판단시에 개입되는 자동적 평가효과를 점화과제를 통해서 검증하였다. 점화조건과 목표조건에 따라 성격 특성단어들을 네 가지로 조합하였으며 두 가지 유형의 SOA에서 점화단어와 목표단어에 대한 일치성 효과와 긍정성 우위 효과를 살펴보았다. 실험1의 짧은 SOA(150­250ms)에서는 긍정-긍정 단어쌍이 부정-부정 단어쌍보다 반응시간이 빠르게 나타났다. 실험 2의 긴 SOA(500­1000ms)에서는 단어쌍 조건간에 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 즉, 짧은 SOA에서는 긍정성 우위 효과가 나타났지만, SOA가 길어짐에 따라서 일치성 효과나 긍정성 우위 효과는 모두 유의미하지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 사회인지적 대상에 대한 자동평가가 일반 인지체계에서 일관되게 나타나는 자동적 의미처리과정과는 다를 수 있음을 시사한 것으로 볼 수 있다. 편견이나 고정관념처럼 정서가 내포된 사회적 정보는 정서의 긍정성이나 부정성에 따라서 다른 처리가 일어날 수 있다고 본다.
