摘要

文化紧密性的特点是强烈的规范和对越轨行为的严厉惩罚。我们假设,紧密(相对于松散)文化中的追随者更喜欢肌肉发达的领导者。这一假设在七项研究(N=1615)中得到了证实,这些研究采用了来自美国、英国和中国的样本。通过实际的政治领导人,我们证明了该州的文化越紧密,当选州长就越有力量(研究1)。将参与者暂时置于紧密(与松散)的文化中,使他们选择一位肌肉发达程度较高但身体脂肪含量不高的领导者,所获得的影响发生在男性和女性领导者身上(研究2-3B)。此外,我们还证明了威权主义的中介作用,以及在这一过程中对主导领导的偏好(研究4-5B)。这些结果表明了考虑文化和领导者外表之间的界面的重要性。

We Need Tough Brothers and Sisters in a Tight World: Cultural Tightness Leads to a Preference for Dominant and Muscular Leaders.

Cultural tightness is characterized by strong norms and harsh punishments for deviant behaviors. We hypothesized that followers in tight (vs. loose) cultures would more strongly prefer muscular leaders. This hypothesis was confirmed across seven studies (N = 1,615) employing samples from the United States, the United Kingdom, and China. Using actual political leaders, we demonstrated that the tighter the state's culture was, the more muscular the elected governor was (Study 1). Temporarily situating participants in a tight (vs. loose) culture made them select a leader higher on muscularity but not on body fat, and the effects obtained occurred for both male and female leaders (Studies 2-3B). In addition, we demonstrated the mediating role of authoritarianism and a preference for a dominant leadership in this process (Studies 4-5B). These results demonstrate the importance of considering the interface between culture and the physical appearance of leaders.
