무관 정서의 점화가 체제 정당화 정도에 미치는 영향 = The Effects of Priming Incidental Emotions on System Justification

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

People are motivated to rationalize the world and the system that they live in (Jost & Banaji, 1994), and those with higher levels of this system justification motive are less likely to support social change. Meanwhile, primed emotions unrelated to a given target can influence perceptions and judgments involving that target (Lerner & Keltner, 2000). Therefore it is possible that primed emotions unrelated to the system affect the degree of system justification, and in turn change the willingness to protest against the system. To test this, we had participants watch a short video clip to induce one of four emotions (anger, sadness, happiness, and fear), and measured system justification as well as the willingness to protest against the status quo. As predicted, anger-induced participants justified the system less than those who were primed with fear or happiness. Although the direct effect of emotion priming on the willingness to protest was not significant, the indirect effect through system justification was. The result confirms that incidental emotions can influence how people construe the reality and the motivation to change it.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

사람들은 자신이 사는 세상과 체제가 정당하다고 합리화하고 싶은 동기를 가지고 있으며(Jost & Banaji, 1994), 이 체제 정당화 수준이 높은 사람일수록 사회 변화를 지지하지 않는다. 한편 대상과 전혀 관련이 없는 정서가 그 대상에 대한 지각과 판단에 영향을 미칠 수 있다(Lerner & Keltner, 2000). 그러므로 체제와 관련 없이 점화된 정서가 체제 정당화 정도에 영향을 주고, 그에 따라 체제에 대한 저항 의지를 변화시킬 가능성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이를 검증하기 위해 동영상을 통해 참가자들에게 기쁨, 슬픔, 분노, 공포의 네 가지 기본 정서 중 하나를 점화한 후 체제 정당화 정도와 현 사회 체제에 저항하고자 하는 의지를 측정하였다. 연구 결과, 예측한 대로 분노 정서가 유발된 참가자들은 공포와 기쁨 정서가 유발된 참가자들에 비해 체제를 덜 정당화하는 것이 관찰되었다. 또한 각 정서 조건 별 저항 의지의 차이는 없었으나 정서에서 체제 정당화를 통해 저항 의지로 이어지는 매개 효과는 유의미하였다. 이 결과는 특정한 정서가 구체적인 현실에 대한 평가와 현실을 변화시키려는 동기에 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 것을 확인한 것이다.
