自我促进的作用是积极的还是消极的

Is Self-Enhancement Positive or Negative

自我促进是指对自己所持的一种过度积极的评价,其与适应之间的关系研究是学者普遍比较关注的领域。目前相关研究结果还存在很大差异,部分研究认为自我促进与积极的适应能力相关,有更好的人际关系、较少的偏差行为、较高的生活满意度、能更好地处理压力,有更高的生理健康水平。部分研究则是相反的结果。导致这些结果不一致的原因可能是因为自我促进的定义和测量方法不同、共同方法偏差、情境不同及所研究适应的种类不同等原因导致的。以期有更多的整合研究、更好的平衡自我促进作用的研究及中国本土化研究出现。

Self-enhancement is the ＂above-average-effect＂ toward oneself, and research pay more attention to the area of the relationship between self-enhancement and adaptation. However, the findings are inconsistent that some study considered there is positive outcome such as much health interpersonal relationship, less deviant behavior, happier, more positive cope style, much healthier. However, there are also some study considered that the influence of self-enhancement is negative. The different definition and measurement of self-enhancement, the common methods bias, the different context and the different kinds of adaptation is the main reason for the phenomenon. The future study should pay more attention to the integration and local study.
