摘要

研究发现,分享负面八卦对于促进社会群体中的合作至关重要。八卦对群体的积极作用表明,八卦者应该因为分享有用的信息而得到奖励。相比之下,八卦通常被认为是负面的,这意味着八卦带来的社会成本大于收益。为了解决这个难题,我们认为,接受者是否将八卦解释为源于亲社会动机还是亲自我动机,会影响他们对八卦者的反应。我们进行了一项预先注册的实验研究(n = 1188),参与者收到负面八卦陈述,我们操纵这些陈述来反映亲自我或亲社会的动机。支持我们的预测,接受者更有可能错误地将负面的亲社会八卦理解为源于亲自我动机,而不是相反。然而,具有更高克服直觉能力的接受者更能正确地将负面八卦解释为由亲自我和亲社会动机驱动的。此外,结果表明,当接受者将负面八卦解释为亲社会动机(相对于亲自私动机)时,他们更信任八卦者,而更少信任八卦目标(对于信任的行为和态度衡量)。

Punishing or praising gossipers: How people interpret the motives driving negative gossip shapes its consequences
Sharing negative gossip has been found to be pivotal for fostering cooperation in social groups. The positive function gossip serves for groups suggests that gossipers should be rewarded for sharing useful information. In contrast, gossip is commonly perceived negatively, meaning that gossipers incur more social costs than benefits. To solve this puzzle, we argue that whether receivers interpret gossip as stemming from pro-social versus pro-self motives shapes their reactions towards gossipers. We conducted a pre-registered experimental vignette study (n = 1188) in which participants received negative gossip statements, which we manipulated to reflect either pro-self or pro-social motives. Supporting our predictions, receivers were more likely to mistakenly interpret negative pro-social gossip as stemming from pro-self motives than vice versa. Nevertheless, receivers with a higher ability to overcome intuition were better able to correctly interpret negative gossip as driven by pro-self and pro-social motives. Furthermore, results showed that when receivers interpreted negative gossip as pro-socially (vs. pro-selfishly) motivated, they trusted gossipers more and gossip targets less (for behavioral as well as attitudinal measures of trust).
