情绪社会分享动机与社会适应

为了探究情绪社会分享动机与社会适应的关系,研究招募了305名大学生被试,要求被试回忆近期发生并分享了的积极和消极情绪事件,并报告与他人分享情绪的基本形态、分享动机,以及多项社会适应指标。研究检验了情绪社会分享动机问卷(SSMS)中文版的信效度,发现新版SSMS存在7个因子,即认知清晰、宣泄、影响他人、获得关注、共情、寻求支持、告知他人。7个动机因子中,认知情绪、宣泄、寻求支持和告知他人与社会适应指标有较强相关。积极情绪事件分享在影响他人、获取关注和告知他人等方面动机较强;负情绪事件分享动机在认知清晰和引发共情方面较强。而且,女性的宣泄动机较强,男性在获取关注上较强。负情绪事件分享时,女性有较强的引发共情动机。
