Experimental Research On The Implicit Cognition Of Higher Vocational Students' Wisdom

In order to explore vocational college students'implicit cognition of wisdom,64 vocational college students were selected as participants in the experiments.This study consists of two sub-experiments:The first uses SC-IAT to examine the vocational college students'implicit cognition of wisdom people. The results show:(1) The vocational college students'implicit cognition on the concept of wisdom people's characteristics has a significant IAT effect; participants reacted more quickly when words indicating good morality and high intelligence were associated with wise people than when they were associated with foolish people.(2) The vocational college students'implicit cognition on the concept of wisdom people's characteristics have no significant difference in gender and major.The second experiment uses IAT to examine the vocational college students' implicit cognition of the concept of wisdom. The results show:(1) The vocational college students' implicit cognition on the concept of wisdom has a significant IAT effect; participants reacted more quickly in compatibility task (human wise people were associated with words indicating good morality and humane quality and natural wise people were associated with words indicating high intelligence) than incompatible task (the opposite).(2) The vocational college students'implicit cognition on the concept of wisdom have no significant difference in gender and major.All the studies revealed that:(1)Vocational students reaction more quickly on the wisdom linked with the words indicating high intelligence and good morality quality than on the foolish linked with them. This suggests that wisdom is the integration of good moral-humane quality and high intelligence;(2) Participants had the implicit cognitive construction of "human wise people have good moral-humane quality and natural wise people have high intelligence".
