Abstract

Despite their apparent benevolence, positive stereotypes have negative effects on person and group perception. However, little is known about how exposure can intensify these negative consequences. In two pre-registered experiments (total N = 240) we investigated the effect of exposure on believability and moral condemnation of positive stereotypes. In Experiment 1, participants rated the truth value of positive stereotypes, which were either previously encountered or not during an exposure phase. Repeated positive stereotypes were perceived as more true than unrepeated ones, indicating a truth effect. In Experiment 2, we replicated the truth effect and further found that exposure to stereotypes reduced their moral condemnation, indicating a moral-repetition effect. Extending the truth effect and moral-repetition effect research to positive stereotypes, our findings emphasize the need to raise awareness of the impact of exposure on reinforcing the believability and moral condemnation of stereotypical beliefs.

真实与道德的重复：暴露对正面刻板印象知觉的影响。

尽管正面刻板印象表面上是仁慈的，但对个人和群体的认知却有负面影响。然而，人们对暴露如何加剧这些负面后果知之甚少。在两个预注册实验中（总N = 240），我们研究了暴露对正面刻板印象可信度和道德谴责的影响。在实验1中，参与者对正面刻板印象的真值进行打分，这些刻板印象要么是之前遇到过的，要么是在暴露阶段没有遇到过的。重复的积极刻板印象被认为比未重复的更真实，这表明存在真相效应。在实验2中，我们复制了真相效应，并进一步发现刻板印象的暴露减少了他们的道德谴责，表明道德重复效应。将真相效应和道德重复效应的研究扩展到积极刻板印象，我们的研究结果强调了需要提高对暴露对增强刻板印象信念的可信度和道德谴责的影响的认识。
