中国人自谦的动机及其与主观幸福感的关系

Motives of Chinese Self-modesty and Their Relationship with Subjective Well-being

许多研究发现,不同于西方人直接的自我提升,东亚人更倾向于自谦,而且自谦行为的动机颇为复杂,这可能会使东方人的自我实现和主观幸福感的制约因素与西方人有所不同。对252名大学生和123名职业群体的研究表明,中国人自谦的动机包含"规范性""防御性"和"真诚性"3个维度。年龄对"规范性"和"防御性"有较高的预测性,能解释两者变异的29.5%和27.2%。"真诚性"与"失望感"呈显著的负相关;"规范性"和"防御性"与"幸运感""自信感"呈显著的负相关。

Many studies showed that Eastern Asians, different from westerners who were of candid self-aggrandizement, preferred to self-modesty. The motives of their self-modesty were very complicated, which may result in the difference of restricting factors between easterners and westerners in self-actualization and subjective well-being. The study of 264 university students and 124 occupational persons showed that the motives of Chinese self-modesty involved three dimensions： ＂norm＂, ＂defense＂ and ＂sincerity＂. In ＂norm＂ and ＂defense＂, ages were of high prediction and can explain 29. 5% and 27.2% variance of them respectively. ＂Sincerity＂ was obviously negatively related to ＂disappointment＂. ＂Norm＂ and ＂defense＂ were obviously negatively related to ＂well-being＂ and ＂confidence＂,
