论中国人的面子心理

On Chinese People's Sensibility of Face

从四个方面概要论述了传统中国人的面子心理。即:1)中国人面子的内涵与特征。包括:面子是根植于文化的社会心理建构,面子在人际交往中形成与表现,面子具有情境性和可变性,面子是一个人自尊与尊严的体现,面子是一个人的自我心像,面子是重道义轻功利伦理情趣的表征。2)中国人的面子类型。包括自我知觉到的面子和他人知觉到的面子;道德性面子、地位性面子、才能性面子和人际关系面子等。3)中国人面子的具体运作。包括做面子、给面子、借面子与赊面子、争面子与保全面子、撑面子、丢面子和挽回面子、交换面子与赠送面子等。4)中国人面子心理的利弊分析。自"五四"运动新文化兴起,特别是解放后,改革开放以来,随着商品经济的发展,法制的不断完善,中国人的面子心理发生了巨大变化。但中国人毕竟是中国人,受过数千年传统文化熏陶的中国人不可能面目全非。但主张一个现代中国人要弘扬传统中国人面子心理的优点,克服其弊端。
