合作与竞争关系中社会比较对高中生认知信任与情感信任的影响

The Influence of Social Comparison on High School Students’Cognitive and Affective Trust in the Context of Cooperative and Competitive Relationships

以559名高中生为被试,构建合作与竞争关系,用学业成绩为比较内容,探讨了不同关系中社会比较对认知信任与情感信任的影响。结果发现:(1)在控制组和竞争组,向下比较会损害认知信任;在竞争组,向上比较会损害情感信任;社会比较对合作组中两种信任的影响无显著差异,两种信任均处于较高水平。结果表明对在社会比较中受损的两种信任而言,竞争会进一步增加损害,而合作则能起到保护作用。

This study aimed to investigate the influence of social comparison on senior high school students’cognitive and affective trust in the context of cooperative and competitive relationships.In the present study,the academic achievements of participants and their competitors were considered as the sources of social comparison under the context of cooperation and competition relationships.Five hundred and fifty nine high school students were requested to rate their cognitive and affective trust in the 7-point Likert scale and complete the trust games which measure their trust on behavioral dimension.The results showed that:1)Downward social comparison harmed cognitive trust both in the control group and the competition group,whereas upward comparison harmed affective trust only in the competition group.Moreover,social comparison did not influence the cognitive and affective trust in the context of cooperative relationships.2)Competition further lowered the level of the two trust types which had been damaged in the social comparison,whereas cooperation played a protective role.
