例如,观察员观察面部,并在四个可能的名字(Jacob、Dan、Josef、Nathaniel)中做出选择。观察员在38%的情况下能够选出正确答案Dan,明显高于随机猜测的25%的概率。
This effect held true even when the researchers controlled for age and ethnicity.
即使研究员控制了年龄和民族这两个因素,上述结果依然成立。
"Our research demonstrates that indeed people do look like their name," said Dr Ruth Mayo, senior lecturer in the Department of Psychology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. "Furthermore, we suggest this happens because of a process of self-fulfilling prophecy, as we become what other people expect us to become."
希伯来大学的高级讲师Ruth Mayo博士称,“我们的研究表明,人们确实看起来像自己的名字。此外,我们认为其原因在于自我应验预言,因为我们会成为他人期待我们成为的人。”
Name stereotypes
Supporting the notion of a self-fulfilling prophecy, the researchers found that observers beat the odds of correctly guessing a person's name even when they were only allowed to see their hairstyle. This suggests that people may choose the hairstyle that fits a stereotype associated with their name.
研究人员的发现支持自我应验预言概念。当观察员只能通过发型猜测人名时,猜出人名的实际正确率依然高于理论上的概率值。这表明人们可能会选择符合其名字刻板印象的发型。
