Abstract

This study was conducted to explore college students' implicit identification with others powerful or powerless, and implicit association of self-enhancement & authenticity with their relationships with others powerful or powerless. The study was based on measuring 3 sorts of IAT: an explicit identification test, RWA, & RISC. The results were summed up as follows: Students identified their selves with others more powerful than others powerless; expressed self-enhancement when they were with powerful others; and associated 'true' with relationship with others powerful. Men with high RWA & women with low RWA identified their selves more with others powerful; low RWA & high RISC groups' associated relationship with others powerful to 'true' and others powerless to 'false' more rapidly. These results were discussed in terms of structure of authoritarianism, SEM, relationship with others powerful and powerless.

본 연구는 남녀 대학생을 대상으로 강자, 약자와의 관계에서 암묵적으로 경험하는 동일시, 고양과 비하, 진실과 거짓을 알아보기 위해, 3가지 IAT검사와 3가지 명시적인 검사(동일시 검사, RWA, RISC)를 실시하였다. 그 결과, 대학생들은 명시적, 암묵적으로 강자를 동일시하였으며, 강자와의 관계에 고양되며, 강자와의 관계에 진실을 연합하였다. 한편 남성보다는 여성들이 강자와의 관계에 고양과 진실을 암묵적으로 연합하는 반응이 빨랐고, RWA 고집단 남성과 RWA 저집단 여성은 강자 동일시 반응이 빨랐으며, RWA 저집단과 RISC 고집단은 강자와의 관계에 진실, 약자와의 관계에 거짓을 연합하는 반응이 빠르게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 권위주의의 구조, Tesser의 SEM 이론, 그리고 약자보호 관점의 인간관계 특성과 관련하여 논의되었다.
