본 연구는 Semin과 Fiedler(1988)가 제안한 언어 범주화 모델(LCM)을 기반으로 고정관념이 언어로써 어떻게 재현될 수 있는지 검토하였다. 이를 위해 연구 1에서는 한국어 단어들이 언어 범주화 모델에서 주창한 추상화 정도에 따른 4개 언어범주로 구분되는지를 검토하였다. 판별분석 결과 한국어 단어는 5개 평가차원에 따라 추상화 정도가 다른 4개 언어범주로 구분되었다. 연구 2에서는 연구 1의 결과를 바탕으로 대상의 고향과 행위를 스크립트로 제시하여 지역 고정관념에 따라 대상의 행위에 대한 추상화가 다른지를 검토하였다. 그 결과 참여자들은 대상의 행위가 대상의 지역(즉, 충청) 고정관념과 불일치할 때보다 일치할 때 대상의 행위를 언어적으로 추상화하여 묘사하여 가설이 부분적으로 지지되었다. 연구3에서 취업 면접 상황의 시청각 자료를 제시하여 대상의 고향을 말씨로 조작한 경우, 연구2에서와 동일한 형태의 언어적 추상화가 다시 한 번 나타났다. 참여자들은 또한 대상의 행위가 대상의 지역(즉, 서울) 고정관념과 불일치 할 때보다 일치할 때 더욱 내부귀인 하였고 채용하겠다고 응답하여 부분적으로 가설이 지지되었다. 이러한 지역고정관념에 따른 귀인과 채용의도를 언어적 추상화가 매개하는지를 검토하였으나 매개모형은 유의미하지 않았다. 이러한 결과의 이론적· 실제적 의미에 대해 논의하였다.
Three studies examined that the effects of regional stereotypes on the linguistic expectancy bias based on the postulates of the Linguistic Category Model (LCM). More specifically, we examined in Study 1 whether Korean words could be separated into four language categories in terms of the level of abstraction. The results of Study 1 demonstrated that Korean words were successfully separated into four language categories according to the five criteria (concreteness vs abstractness dimensions) postulated by LCM. In Study 2, we presented a script which described the target person in a job interview situation, revealing the target's hometown region and behaviors which were either consistent or inconsistent with the regional stereotypes. We then asked the participants to recall and write down the behaviors and characteristics of the target person and analyzed these descriptions in terms of the four categories identified in Study 1. The result demonstrated that as expected, the target was described with more abstract terms rather than concrete terms when the target's behavior type was consistent with the regional stereotype. Study 3 attempted to replicate Study 2 with a more real-life like manipulation of the target's hometown region and the behaviors, by presenting a video tape in which the target responded to the questions of the interviewers in a job interview situation, instead of a written script. The results of Study 3 replicated the results of Experiment 2:the target was described with much more abstract terms than concrete terms when the target's behavior type was consistent with the regional stereotype. The results of Study 3 also demonstrated that the participants were more likely to internally attribute the stereotype-consistent behaviors than inconsistent ones, as well as to intend to employ the target in the former case than in the latter case. However, unlike the hypothesis, the behavioral intention of employment turned out not to be mediated by the language abstraction. We discussed the theoretical and practical implications of these results.
