The mechanism of spontaneous perspective taking in the socially interactive context
Two experiments were designed to explore the necessary conditions for spontaneous perspective-taking and its features in a negative interactive context.Experiment 1 found that only when developing self-other perspective association,can participants with a similar prior experience take the other negative social role's perspective spontaneously,holding a lower negative implicit attitude to this role.Experiment 2 further proved that the delayed similar experience acquired by the"experiencing the other side"paradigm also could facilitate spontaneous social perspective-taking.And this process could help participants reduce the negative implicit attitude toward the negative social role.Thus,self-other perspective association and similar experiences could affect spontaneous perspective-taking together.In addition,in both experiments,there are higher scores of self-reported perspective-taking among people with a similar experience who have built the perspective association,no matter when they obtain the experience.This outcome means that the process of social perspective-taking is spontaneous but not automatic.
