不确定感与从众：决断性与结构需求的中介作用

不确定感伴随从众的现象普遍存在，然而其内在加工过程及个体差异仍不明确。对804名大学生被试进行问卷调查，结果显示：（1）不确定感与从众正相关；（2）决断性与结构需求完全中介不确定感与从众的关系，且存在性别差异；二者关系上，女性更大程度上受决断性的中介，其次为结构需求；男性受决断性和结构需求的平行中介。结果支持不确定−认同理论和认知闭合两阶段模型观点，为不确定状态下不同性别人群从众行为的管理提供了理论依据。

Uncertainty and Conformity: The Mediating Effect of Decisiveness and Need for Structure

Uncertainty occurs along with the phenomenon of conformity, although the underlying process and the gender difference are not clarified. The current study applied a cross-sectional questionnaire to 804 college participants. The results showed that: 1) uncertainty was positively correlated with conformity; 2) decisiveness and need for structure completely mediated the relationship between uncertainty and conformity and showed a gender difference: the relation between uncertainty and conformity for women was primarily mediated by decisiveness, while that for men was parallelly mediated by decisiveness and need for structure. This study supports the uncertain-identity theory and the two-factor model of cognitive closure, providing a theoretical basis for managing the conformity of genders under uncertainty.
