Abstract

A correlational pilot study (N = 143) and an integrative data analysis of two experiments (total N = 377) provide evidence linking anger to the psychology of social hierarchy. The experiments demonstrate that the experience of anger increases the psychological accessibility of implicit cognitions related to social hierarchy: compared to participants in a control condition, participants in an anger-priming condition completed word stems with significantly more hierarchy-related words. We found little support for sex differences in the effect of anger on implicit hierarchy-related cognition; effects were equivalent across male and female participants. Findings fit with functionalist evolutionary views of anger suggesting that anger may motivate the use of dominance to strive for high social rank in group hierarchies. Implications for downstream behaviour, including aggression and negotiation, are discussed.

实验操纵的愤怒会激活对社会等级的内隐认知。
一项相关性试验研究(N = 143)和两项实验(总 N = 377)的综合数据分析提供了将愤怒与社会等级心理联系起来的证据。实验证明,愤怒的体验会增加与社会等级相关的内隐认知的心理可及性:与对照条件下的参与者相比,愤怒刺激条件下的参与者完成的词干中与等级相关的词明显较多。我们发现,愤怒对内隐等级认知的影响几乎不存在性别差异;男性和女性参与者的效果相当。研究结果符合愤怒的功能主义进化观点,即愤怒可能会促使人们利用支配地位来争取在群体等级中的较高社会地位。研究还讨论了下游行为(包括攻击和谈判)的影响。
