是否有负面的社会影响?不同和不喜欢对意见转变的影响

Is there negative social influence? Disentangling effects of dissimilarity and disliking on opinion shifts

Károly Takács, Andreas Flache, Michael Mäs

摘要:

实证研究是不确定的基本机制,形成相互关联的动态意见和人际吸引力。有强有力的证据表明,被喜欢的人对观点有积极的影响,相似性会引起吸引力(同性恋)。我们对“负面”机制知之甚少,比如不喜欢的人是否会导致偏离共识(负面影响),巨大的差异(相异)是否会产生距离,相异是否会导致不喜欢(异性恐惧症)。本研究测试歧视性假设的存在下,积极和消极的机制,在控制实验中,涉及二元相互作用。结果证实了同质性的存在,不支持存在负面的社会影响,并显示出强大的正线性关系之间的意见距离和意见转变。这意味着,在最初分歧很大的情况下,接触可能是达成共识的最大推动力。

英文摘要:

Empirical studies are inconclusive about the underlying mechanisms that shape the interrelated dynamics of opinions and interpersonal attraction. There is strong evidence that others whom are liked have a positive influence on opinions and similarities induce attraction (homophily). We know less about "negative" mechanisms concerning whether disliked others induce shifts away from consensus (negative influence), whether large differences (dissimilarity) generate distancing, and whether dissimilarities induce disliking (heterophobia). This study tests discriminating hypotheses about the presence of positive and negative mechanisms in controlled experiments involving dyadic interactions. Results confirm the presence of homophily, do not support the existence of negative social influence, and show a robust positive linear relationship between opinion distance and opinion shifts. This implies that contact might provide the largest push towards consensus in case of large initial differences.
