本文报道了一个实验，在这个实验中，被试接受了与他们的自我评价有负或正差异的虚拟智力测验反馈。然后，他们有机会在几篇文章中进行选择，这些文章要么包含贬低智力测试的信息（测试支持信息），要么包含支持智力测试有效性的信息（测试支持信息）。本研究的主要发现包括人格因素焦虑和反馈变量之间的相互作用：高焦虑的被试更喜欢测试的负反馈条件下比在积极的反馈条件下，而低焦虑的被试没有表现出显着差异，在测试相关的信息偏好作为反馈条件的函数。这些结果与过去的理论推理和实验结果一致，即高焦虑受试者比低焦虑受试者更容易受到负面自我相关反馈的威胁。
The present paper reports an experiment in which subjects received fictitious intelligence test feedback that was either negatively or positively discrepant with their self-evaluation. They were then given an opportunity to choose among several articles containing information that either derogated intelligence tests (test-disparaging information) or argued for their validity (test-supporting information). The main finding of this study consists of an interaction between the personality factor anxiety and the feedback variable: High-anxiety subjects prefer test-disparaging information significantly more in the negative feedback condition than in the positive feedback condition, whereas low-anxiety subjects show no difference in preference for test-related information as a function of the feedback condition. These results are in line with past theoretical reasoning and experimental findings showing that high-anxiety subjects feel more threatened by negative self-relevant feedback than do low-anxiety subjects.
