Abstract

Exploring how psychological constructs and their outcomes vary across geographic regions is a rapidly expanding area of research, yet fundamental questions remain. Can constructs designed to describe individual variation in attitudes be interpreted in the same way when aggregated to regional levels? To what extent are they related or distinct? We tested the relationship between individual and regional attitudes across four studies in the domain of intergroup attitudes. Participants reported explicit prejudices and stereotypes toward 14 different social groups, and incorporating data from Project Implicit, we compared the characteristics of regional and individual operationalizations of prejudice. Further, we tested whether attitudes related to one another in the same way across levels using representational similarity analysis. Drawing from construct validity theory, we find evidence that regional prejudice is an emergent property of individual attitudes, to which it is related but distinct. These findings contextualize stereotype and prejudice constructs in regional analyses in psychology. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

区域和个人层面的偏见和陈规定型观念：相关但不同。

探索心理结构及其结果在不同地理区域的差异是一个迅速扩展的研究领域，但基本问题依然存在。旨在描述个体态度差异的建构物在汇总到地区层面时，能否以同样的方式进行解释？它们在多大程度上相互关联或相互区别？我们在群体间态度领域的四项研究中测试了个人态度与地区态度之间的关系。参与者报告了对 14 个不同社会群体的明确偏见和刻板印象，结合 "隐含项目 "的数据，我们比较了地区和个人偏见操作化的特征。此外，我们还使用表征相似性分析法检验了不同层次的态度之间是否存在相同的关联。根据建构有效性理论，我们发现有证据表明地区偏见是个人态度的一种新兴属性，它与个人态度相关但又不同。这些发现为心理学区域分析中的刻板印象和偏见建构提供了背景。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, 版权所有）。
