摘要
做一个酷的人意味着什么?酷和优秀是一回事吗?酷的人的特质在不同的文化中会有所不同吗?我们通过调查哪些价值观和性格特征与酷的人有关,以及这些特征是否与好人有关来回答这些问题。对来自澳大利亚、智利、中国(大陆和香港)、德国、印度、墨西哥、尼日利亚、西班牙、南非、韩国、土耳其和美国的5943名受访者进行的实验显示,与酷有关的许多特质也与好人有关。然而,酷和好是不一样的。酷的人被认为更外向、享乐主义、强大、冒险、开放和自主,而好人则更循规蹈矩、传统、安全、温暖、和蔼、普遍、认真和冷静。这种模式在各个国家都是稳定的,这表明“酷”的含义在全球范围内已经形成了一套类似的价值观和特征。我们以这些结果为基础,提出了一种关于酷在建立社会等级和改变社会文化实践和规范方面所起作用的理论。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA,版权所有)。
What does it mean to be a cool person? Is being cool the same thing as being good? Do the attributes of cool people vary across cultures? We answer these questions by investigating which values and personality traits are associated with cool people and whether these same attributes are associated with good people. Experiments with 5,943 respondents in Australia, Chile, China (Mainland and Hong Kong), Germany, India, Mexico, Nigeria, Spain, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey, and the United States revealed that many of the attributes associated with cool people are also associated with good people. Cool and good, however, are not the same. Cool people are perceived to be more extraverted, hedonistic, powerful, adventurous, open, and autonomous, whereas good people are more conforming, traditional, secure, warm, agreeable, universalistic, conscientious, and calm. This pattern is stable across countries, which suggests that the meaning of cool has crystallized on a similar set of values and traits around the globe. We build on the results to advance a theory of the role that coolness plays in establishing social hierarchies and changing social and cultural practices and norms.

期刊介绍:
The Journal of Experimental Psychology: General publishes articles describing empirical work that bridges the traditional interests of two or more communities of psychology. The work may touch on issues dealt with in JEP: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, JEP: Human Perception and Performance, JEP: Animal Behavior Processes, or JEP: Applied, but may also concern issues in other subdisciplines of psychology, including social processes, developmental processes, psychopathology, neuroscience, or computational modeling. Articles in JEP: General may be longer than the usual journal publication if necessary, but shorter articles that bridge subdisciplines will also be considered.
