CHINESE AND AMERICAN PERCEPTIONS OF NATIONS IN CONFLICT. A LABORATORY TEST OF BRONFENBRENNER'S MIRROR IMAGE HYPOTHESIS UNDER CONDITIONS OF SIMULATED LIMITED WAR.
Abstract
Chinese and American nationals participated in experimental internation simulation as a test of Bronfenbrenner's mirror image hypothesis. Perceptions of own and opposing nations were measured for (1) a rebel movement, and (2) a large power fighting a rebel movement in a foreign nation. The effects of information availability (relevance), and of increasing threat from a third power were also investigated. Evaluative mirror image perceptions of the opposing nation as 'bad' and one's own as 'good' were investigated. (Author)
