초록

집단에서 과제수행과 관련하여 부적으로 고정관념화된 표적 구성원의 수행은 집단원 구성과 개인 기여의 도구성에 따라서 달리 나타나리라고 가정하고 이를 실험 연구를 통해서 검증했다. 여성에게 부적 고정관념이 연합된 근력 과제를 이용하여 실험한 결과, 가설과 일관되게 혼성 집단보다 동성 집단에서 고정관념 표적인 여성 구성원의 수행이 우수했다. 또한 가설과 일관되게 개인 기여의 도구성이 낮은 조건보다 높은 조건에서 여성 구성원의 수행이 우수했다. 그러나 두 변인 간의 상호작용은 가설과 달리 개인 기여의 도구성이 높은 조건에서만 집단원 구성에 따른 차이가 발견되었다. 2차 과제로 실시한 인지과제에서도 근력 과제와 유사한 결과가 나타났다. 본 연구의 시사점을 집단원 구성, 고정관념 위협 및 집단에서의 동기 이득과 관련지어 논의하고 장래 연구의 방향을 제시했다.

Abstract

The present study examined how group composition and instrumentality of individual contribution to a group task affect the performance of stereotype targets in groups. The composition of groups was manipulated by assigning female participants to either a same-sex group (with one female confederate) or a mixed-sex group (with one male confederate). Instrumentality of individual contribution was manipulated by leading the female participants to believe that their own performance would determine either 70% or 30% of group performance. Drawing on previous research on stereotype threat, the present study hypothesized that female participants would perform better in the same-sex condition than in the mixed-sex condition. In addition, it was hypothesized that female participants would perform better in the high instrumentality condition than in the low instrumentality condition. Using a handgrip task, the present study found supportive evidence for the two predicted main effect hypotheses. However, unlike the predicted interaction effect, female participants performed better in the same-sex condition than in the mixed-sex condition when the perceived instrumentality of individual contribution was high. In contrast, group composition did not have a significant effect when the perceived instrumentality was low. These findings were interpreted in terms of motivation gain and social loafing among females in a stereotype threat situation. Implications of the study and future directions are discussed.
