自我构念的个体差异对心理性应激反应的影响

Individual Differences of Self-Construal in Shaping the Psychosocial Stress Response

心理性应激是个体内稳态受到社会心理威胁时候的状态,其反应水平可能会受到自我构念个体差异的影响.实验1通过问卷测量,结果发现个体的互依自我构念水平与日常应激水平呈显著正相关,而独立自我构念水平与日常应激水平相关不显著;实验2采用特里尔社会应激任务诱发心理性应激反应,使用文化启动范式作为缓冲策略,考察文化启动在自我构念水平与急性心理性应激反应之间的调节作用.结果发现在个人主义文化突显条件下,个体独立型自我得分越高,心理性应激水平越低.研究结果表明,高互依自我的个体会产生更高水平的应激反应;与自我构念相适应的策略可以有效缓解应激反应.

Psychosocial stress has been defined as a state of threatened homeostasis by the psychosocial threat.The response of psychosocial stress is affected by self-construal.In study 1,questionnaires survey results showed that participants＇interdependent self-construal was positive correlated with their daily stress level,however,the independent self-construal was not significantly correlated with daily stress.In study 2,Trier Social Stress task（TSST）was used to induce the psychological stress and cultural priming paradigm was used as buffer strategy to study the modulating effect between self-construal and psychological stress response.Results showed that lower level of psychological stress response was associated with higher score of independent self-construal in a condition highlighting individualistic culture.In summary,the current study suggested that individual with higher interdependent self-construal perceived higher level of stress,besides,the strategy that fits corresponding self-construal could buffer stress response effectively.
