摘要
以80名大学女生为被试,采用两个实验考察了想象重要他人对于自我评价转移的影响,并探索了自尊的调节作用。结果发现:(1)当想象重要他人为父母时,相对于想象同性朋友,被试更倾向于认为自己合群、独立;相对于想象异性朋友,被试更倾向于认为自己道德水平高、合群性强。(2)当想象重要他人为男朋友时,相对于想象同性朋友,被试的自我评价更偏向神经质。证明了想象不同的重要他人对于自我评价转移的影响。
Relative self is one of the most interesting constructs, in personality and social psychology. The relationship between significant others and relative selves has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. If one of the significant others was primed, the corresponding relative self would be activated, which would influence the individual＇ s thoughts and behaviors further. The objectives of this article are to explore the impacts of imagining significant others on individual＇ s self-evaluation shifts in the Chinese culture context, and to investigate the possible effects of self-esteem. As college students had similar role experience, 80 temale sophomore students were recruited as participants. This study selected three kinds of significant others parents, intimate same-sex friends and opposite-sex friends （ ineluding boyfriends）. Because the relative selves corresponding to different significant others were different, the researchers developed special traits forms about self-evaluation in order to measure the dependent variables. This study included two experiments, and a re- corder was used. Experiment 1 adopted a single-factor design. The independent variable was significant others, with three levels （father or mother, a same-sex friend, an opposite-sex friend）. At the beginning of the experiment, the participants were told to take a test about their imagination. Firstly, they took warm-up exercises by listening to a piece of landscape prose recording. Then, the participants were asked to imagine one of the designated significant others vividly. After the imagination, the participants recalled and wrote down what they had imagined. Then, the experimenter asked the participants to fill in the Self-valuation Traits Form to help another research group which was engaged in the investigation on self-image of contemporary college students. Finally, the participants received a detailed debriefing form. The procedure of Experiment 2 was similar to Experiment 1, except that the former measured self-esteem
