The Effect of Repeated Two-syllable Name on Interpersonal Perception in the Implicit Association Test
Many studies have examined the effects of repeated two-syllable names on interpersonal perceptions from an explicit per-spective,while few studies tested these effects at the implicit level.The study investigated the effects of repeated two-syllable names on interpersonal perceptions(warmth perception and competence perception)of college students using the Implicit Association Test(IAT)task.The results found that compared with the non-repeated two-syllable names,participants tended to associate the repeated two-syllable names with high warmth attributes and high competence attributes.This suggests that at the implicit level,individuals have pref-erences for both high warmth attribute dimension and high ability attribute dimension for repeated two-syllable names.
