Abstract(s)
O efeito da percepção do controlo sobre a sua vida
na percepção de grupo é analisado num estudo. Neste
estudo, os participantes recebem informação abstracta
e exemplar acerca de um grupo de 100 advogados,
após o que respondem a um questionário com medidas
de percepção de grupo e percepção de controlo. Considerando
que a falta de controlo está associada a um
processamento de informação vigilante, esperávamos
que pessoas que percebem menos controlo sobre a sua
vida percebam o grupo de advogados de forma menos
estereotípica e mais variável que pessoas que percebem
mais controlo sobre a sua vida. Os resultados confirmam
esta hipótese, indo ao encontro de estudos prévios,
segundo os quais falta de controlo tem como consequência
um aumento da percepção de variabilidade
de grupo. É discutido o papel de variáveis motivacionais
na percepção de grupo.
ABSTRACT: One study was conducted to analyze the effect of perceived control over one’s life on group perception. Participants were presented with abstract and exemplar information regarding a group of 100 lawyers and answered a questionnaire with questions regarding group perception and perceived control. Considering that lack of control leads to effortful information seeking, it was expected, and found that participants who perceived less control over their lives perceived the group of lawyers in a less stereotypic and more variable way than participants who perceived more control over their lives. This result is in line with results showing that lack of control leads to increased perceived group variability. The role of motivation on group perception is discussed.
