社会决策中道德自我与自利偏好的权衡: 基于自我概念维护理论和道德阈限模型

The tradeoff of moral self and self-interest preference in social decision making:An examination based on the theory of self-concept maintenance and the moral threshold model

基于自我概念维护理论、道德阈限模型和相关研究证据,探讨了人们在进行社会决策时,如何权衡道德自我与自利偏好。人们会在自利偏好和道德自我之间寻得道德阈限这一平衡点,表现出“坏事可以做一点,好事也只做一点”的行为模式。人们会体验到道德自我威胁,但是可能由于道德阈限的存在,依然能够维持较高的道德自我评价。未来研究可以在道德自我与自利偏好权衡的框架下继续开展工作,以丰富并完善人们对社会决策的认识。

This paper investigates how people balance their moral self and self-interest preferences when making social decisions,drawing on the theory of self-concept maintenance,the moral threshold model,and relevant research findings.It proposes that individuals seek a balance between self-interest preferences and moral self,thereby exhibiting a behavioral pattern characterized by minor transgressions and minor acts of kindness.While individuals may encounter threats to their moral self,the existence of a moral threshold enables them to maintain a high regard for their moral self.Future research can further work within this balancing framework to enhance and refine our understanding of social decision-making.
