Abstract

ABSTRACT Psychological reactance theory (PRT) proposes that the importance of freedom, along with threat to freedom and receiver personality trait, impacts the arousal of psychological reactance and the subsequent freedom restoration. This paper presents a 2 (threat: low vs. high) × 3 (source: the CDC, victim of the health issue vs. AI) × 2 (health topic: college drinking vs. STD) between-subjects experiment (N = 765) to test the potential effects of topic and source legitimacy on reactance. Results showed that behavioral topic influenced the magnitude of psychological reactance and forms of freedom restoration simultaneously. Theoretical contributions, implications, and limitations are discussed.

行为话题对心理抗拒的影响:唤醒与自由恢复

摘要心理抗拒理论（PRT）认为，自由的重要性，以及对自由的威胁和接受者的人格特征，会影响心理抗拒的激发和随后的自由恢复。本文提出了一个2（威胁：低vs.高）×3（来源：美国疾病控制与预防中心，健康问题受害者vs.人工智能）×2（健康主题：大学饮酒vs.性传播疾病）的受试者间实验（N=765），以测试主题和来源合法性对电抗的潜在影响。结果表明，行为主题同时影响心理抗拒的大小和自由恢复的形式。讨论了理论贡献、含义和局限性。
