Abstract

Based in intergroup contact theory, we investigated how messaging about shared characteristics affects perceived closeness with scientists (i.e., self-outgroup overlap). In an online study, participants ($N=486$) played a personality matching game that matched them with a real scientist, then they responded to a survey. We replicated the study at a zoo ($N=63$) to examine implementation as a facilitated game. Self-scientist overlap improved in the online setting; in the in situ setting, trust increased, but not self-scientist overlap. Findings suggest that learning about how one scientist is similar to one's self can increase perceived closeness to scientists overall.
你是哪位科学家?通过性格匹配游戏与科学家建立自我群体重叠
基于群体间接触理论,我们研究了关于共同特征的信息如何影响与科学家的感知亲密度(即自我外群体重叠)。在一项在线研究中,参与者(N=486美元)玩了一个性格匹配游戏,将他们与一位真正的科学家配对,然后他们回答一项调查。我们在动物园(N=63美元)复制了这一研究,以检验作为便利游戏的执行情况。自我科学家的重叠在网络环境中得到改善;在原地设置,信任增加,但没有自我科学家重叠。研究结果表明,了解一位科学家与自己的相似之处,总体上可以增加与科学家的亲密感。
