自尊与人际互动：理论、研究与问题

基于自我确认理论开展的大量研究,有助于理解自尊对人际互动行为的调节作用。然而,研究者对自尊的测量工具不尽相同,筛选实验被试的标准也不尽一致,实验范式忽略了对实际人际互动情境的操纵,单纯采用人际选择反应作为测量自我确认的指标,因而难以形成具有整合性的理论模型。今后的研究有必要在编制合适的测量工具的基础上,将整体自尊与特殊自尊作为两个独立的变量置于整合性实验范式下开展研究,同时采用对人际评价信息的认知判断和对评价者的交往选择的双维指标,以全面揭示整体自尊与特殊自尊对自我确认过程的相对作用及其心理机制。

Self-esteem and Self-verification:Theory, Research and Problems

Previous researches on self-verification have helped to understand the effects of self-esteem on social interaction behavior.These researches,however,failed to establish an integrative theory due to a lack of consistent criteria for participant selection,the use of different scales,a neglect of real interaction situations,and the use of the choice of interaction partners as the single self-verification index.Future studies should try to develop valid tools to measure global self-esteem and specific self-esteem and to examine these two personality variables.Both cognitive judgment of external evaluation and the choice of interaction partners should be adopted as self-verification indices so as to obtain a comprehensive understanding of how global self-esteem and specific self-esteem affect self-verification in social interactions.
