摘要

心理反应是说服中的一个关键概念，但实验归纳常常将命令性语言与认识论上的确定性语言（即否认怀疑理由的语言）混为一谈。两个在线实验研究了两种科学语境中每种语言类型对心理反应指标的影响。在研究 1（N = 274）中，命令式语言增加了愤怒感和对自由的威胁感，而认识论上确定的语言则没有。在研究 2 中（N = 402），认识论上不确定的语言减轻了愤怒感和对自由的威胁感。研究结果为每种语言类型对劝说阻力的影响提供了理论和实践见解。

Tipping the Scales of Psychological Reactance: A Closer Look at Imperative Language and the Role of Epistemic Certainty

Psychological reactance is a key construct in persuasion, but experimental inductions often confound imperative language with epistemically certain language (i.e., language that belies grounds for doubt). Two online experiments examine the effects of each language type on indicators of psychological reactance across two scientific contexts. In Study 1 ( N = 274), imperative language increased felt anger and perceived threat to freedom, while epistemically certain language did not. In Study 2 ( N = 402), epistemically uncertain language attenuated felt anger and perceived threat to freedom. Findings offer theoretical and practical insight into the effects of each language type on resistance to persuasion.
