目的:探讨微信能否恢复被排斥者受损的基本心理需求,减少补偿行为。方法:采用2(网络掷球处理:排斥VS.接纳)×2(图标呈现:微信VS.爱奇艺)组间设计,社会排斥的操作采用网络掷球范式,社交媒体图标呈现的操纵将微信图标呈现作为实验组,爱奇艺图标呈现作为控制组,因变量测量为社会交往意愿。结果:呈现爱奇艺图标时,被排斥被试比被接纳被试表现出更强的社会交往意愿。而呈现微信图标时,被排斥被试和被接纳被试表现的社会交往意愿无显著差异。结论:微信能起到对被排斥被试的补偿作用,减少补偿行为。
Objective: To discuss whether WeChat can restore excluded participants' fundamental psychological needs, and reduce their compensatory behavior. Methods: Using 2(Cyberball experience: exclusion VS. inclusion)*2(icon presentation: WeChat VS. iQIYI) between groups design, the Cyberball paradigm was applied in this experiment, participants were randomly assigned to the exclusion condition or the inclusion condition. Afterwards, a WeChat icon or an iQIYI icon(a control icon) was presented on the margin of a computer screen during a filler task. Finally, participants' interest in social contact was measured. Results: When exposed to the iQIYI icon, excluded participants showed greater interest in social contact. This effect disappeared after the subtle presentation of WeChat icon. Conclusion: WeChat may have a compensatory effect on excluded participants, and reduce their compensatory behavior.
