Abstract

Interrogative suggestibility has been suggested to grow in situations of isolation. The current study aimed to test this assumption for the first time in an experimental approach. We hypothesized that ostracism increases suggestibility, and assumed this relationship to be mediated by cognitive impairments or social uncertainty. To test these hypotheses, we conducted two studies. We manipulated the state of ostracism (vs. inclusion) using the O-Cam (Study 1) and Cyberball paradigm (Study 2), and measured suggestibility using the Gudjonsson Suggestibility Scale. Results revealed an indirect link between inclusionary status and suggestibility. More precisely, there was no direct relationship between ostracism and suggestibility. However, ostracism induced weaker cognitive performances and this translated to increased suggestibility. Social uncertainty, on the other hand, did not serve as effective mediator. These findings indicate that each situation that is accompanied by (temporary) cognitive impairments, as is ostracism, might have the power to raise interrogative suggestibility.

排斥与可暗示性：暂时性认知缺陷如何驱动排斥后的可暗示性。

有人认为，询问暗示性会在孤立的情况下增长。本研究旨在通过实验方法首次验证这一假设。我们假设排斥会增加暗示性，并假定这种关系是由认知障碍或社会不确定性介导的。为了验证这些假设，我们进行了两项研究。我们使用O-Cam（研究1）和Cyberball范式（研究2）操纵排斥状态（与包容状态），并使用Gudjonsson暗示性量表测量暗示性。研究结果显示，包容状态与暗示性之间存在间接联系。更确切地说，排斥与暗示性之间没有直接关系。然而，排斥会导致认知能力减弱，从而增加暗示性。另一方面，社会不确定性并没有起到有效的中介作用。这些研究结果表明，每一种伴随着（暂时性）认知障碍的情况（如排斥）都有可能提高询问的可暗示性。

期刊介绍： Since John Dewey and Carl Murchison founded it in 1929, The Journal of Social Psychology has published original empirical research in all areas of basic and applied social psychology. Most articles report laboratory or field research in core areas of social and organizational psychology including the self, attribution theory, attitudes, social influence, consumer behavior, decision making, groups and teams, sterotypes and discrimination, interpersonal attraction, prosocial behavior, aggression, organizational behavior, leadership, and cross-cultural studies. Academic experts review all articles to ensure that they meet high standards.
