Abstract

Psychological ownership refers to the subjective feeling that something is mine. Although research shows that observed behaviours towards a target object can signal psychological ownership to others, we propose that trait cues-specifically, cues of dominance-also inform inferences of psychological ownership. Across four pre-registered studies, we predict and find that another person's trait dominance promotes inferences of psychological ownership for both a tangible (e.g. a restaurant booth) and intangible entity (e.g. a brand). This effect persists across three different trait dominance cues, providing convergent evidence of this relationship. Thus, we extend prior research by showing that cues of a trait that predicts an antecedent to psychological ownership can promote inferences of psychological ownership. Theoretical implications and future research opportunities are also discussed.

特质优势的线索会引起心理所有权的推断。

心理所有权指的是一种主观感觉，即某样东西是我的。尽管研究表明，观察到的对目标对象的行为可以向他人发出心理所有权的信号，但我们建议，特质线索--特别是支配性线索--也可以为心理所有权的推断提供信息。在四项预先登记的研究中，我们预测并发现，他人的特质优势会促进对有形（如餐厅包厢）和无形实体（如品牌）的心理所有权推断。这种效应在三种不同的特质优势线索中都持续存在，为这种关系提供了趋同证据。因此，我们扩展了之前的研究，表明预测心理所有权前因的特质线索可以促进心理所有权的推断。我们还讨论了理论意义和未来的研究机会。

期刊介绍： The British Journal of Social Psychology publishes work from scholars based in all parts of the world, and manuscripts that present data on a wide range of populations inside and outside the UK. It publishes original papers in all areas of social psychology including: • social cognition • attitudes • group processes • social influence • intergroup relations • self and identity • nonverbal communication • social psychological aspects of personality, affect and emotion • language and discourse Submissions addressing these topics from a variety of approaches and methods, both quantitative and qualitative are welcomed. We publish papers of the following kinds: • empirical papers that address theoretical issues; • theoretical papers, including analyses of existing social psychological theories and presentations of theoretical innovations, extensions, or integrations; • review papers that provide an evaluation of work within a given area of social psychology and that present proposals for further research in that area; • methodological papers concerning issues that are particularly relevant to a wide range of social psychologists; • an invited agenda article as the first article in the first part of every volume. The editorial team aims to handle papers as efficiently as possible. In 2016, papers were triaged within less than a week, and the average turnaround time from receipt of the manuscript to first decision sent back to the authors was 47 days.
