摘要

摘要本研究阐述了求职者如何利用语言抽象来展示自己是一个好的还是坏的候选人。根据LIB理论(Maas,Salvi,Arcuri,&Semin,1989),我们检验了这样一个假设,即在积极的指导下(即被招募),参与者的反应在积极的项目中会更抽象,在消极的项目中则会更具体。相反,我们预计,当指导是消极的(即不被招募)时,参与者的回答会更具体,有积极的项目,而有消极的项目,则会更抽象。这项实验的结果(N=85名法国参与者)证实了我们的假设,并揭示了语言抽象水平和自我呈现目标之间的强烈互动效应。讨论了招聘人际环境中语言偏见效应和规范行为的含义。

Self-Presentation and Language Abstraction in Recruitment Context
Abstract The present research explicates how job applicants employ language abstraction to present themselves as a good or bad candidate. According to the LIB theory (Maass, Salvi, Arcuri, & Semin, 1989), we tested the hypothesis that, with positive instruction (i.e., to be recruited), participants’ responses would be more abstract with positive items and more concrete with negative items. Conversely, we expected that participants’ responses would be more concrete with positive items and more abstract with negative ones when the instruction was negative (i.e., to not be recruited). Results of this experiment (N = 85 French participants) confirm our hypothesis and revealed a strong interaction effect between level of language abstraction and goal of self-presentation. Implications for linguistic bias effect and normative behavior in the interpersonal context of recruitment are discussed.
