投射自我研究述评

A Review of the Reflected Self

投射自我是人们想象他人对自己的评价而由此产生的自我认知,它在自我概念的形成中起着重要的作用,也与自尊有着复杂关系。符号相互作用理论认为在自我概念形成中,人们观察他人怎样看待自己,然后将这些观点内化。而更多的研究表明,人们对自己有着特定的看法,这些看法造成了对他人如何看待自己的认知偏差。此外,可以从跨文化角度对投射自我做进一步的探讨,对脑机制的研究也很有必要。

Reflected self is the idea that people come to see themselves as they believe others to see them. It plays an important role in the process of formation of self-concept. It also has complicated relationship with self-esteem. In the view of semiotic interaction, the person observes how others view him or herself, and then internalizes those views into the self-concept. More researches show that people have some special views about themselves, which bring about cognitive bias from others. Apart from this, any further research can be carried out in terms of the cross-cultural approach. It is also necessary to explore the physiological mechanism of human-brains.
