摘要

公众对警察的看法对公共警察关系和警务实践的有效性有着深远的影响。此前关于公众对警察认知的研究主要关注公民的社会人口特征（如年龄、种族）和警察的视觉特征（如着装），但很少关注口音的影响。本研究的目的是调查口音对警察认知的影响。在一项伪装匹配的实验中，160名参与者在听了警察用标准汉语和带有地区口音的汉语表演的演讲后，根据他们的警察职业和审美特征对他们进行了评分。结果表明，警察在说标准汉语时，在所有特质上的得分都高于口音汉语，性别可能起到调节作用。目前的研究表明，口音对警察的公众形象有很大影响。

An experimental study on how accents affect public perceptions of the police

Public perceptions of the police have profound impact on public–police relations and the effectiveness of policing practices. Previous research on public perceptions of the police has focussed on citizens’ socio-demographic profile (e.g. age, race) and police officers’ visual characteristics (e.g. attire), but scant attention has been paid to the impact of accent. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of accent on perceptions of the police. In a matched-guise experiment, 160 participants rated officers on their police professional and aesthetic traits after listening to their speeches performed in standard Chinese versus Chinese with a regional accent. The results showed that police officers were rated higher on all the traits when they spoke standard Chinese than accented Chinese, and gender may play a moderating role. The present study revealed that accent can be powerful in affecting the public image of the police.
