    defensive confidence and attitude change

    最近分析了美国今年的National Election Studies的数据,发现了一个很有意思的现象:对自己的立场和观点有较高防御信心的人居然更容易改变自己的原立场和观点;而防御信心低的人却相反。

    防御信心(defensive confidence)是我老板提出来,主要用于测量一个人在自己的观点和立场受到对方攻击时能够做出有效防御的程度。从我们的生活经验来看,往往是一个越有信心防卫自己的立场越不容易改变。但事实上却恰恰相反。这次分析发现,在去年十一月的美国中期大选中,那些自认为有较高防御信心的共和党人/民主党人却把选票投给了对方党派的候选人。

    进一步分析发现,原来,防御信心高的人认知闭合需求也高,他们更愿意把自己暴露在包括鼓吹对方立场的信息中。这恰恰成为了这类人的弱点。在各种信息媒介发达的今天,这类人在不知不觉中就靠近了对方立场进而改变了自己原有的态度。
