人们拥有一种天生的归属需求,这种需求推动着社会互动。归属需求的异常,如社交快感缺乏和社交焦虑,为检查这种需求提供了一个切入点。本研究采用经验抽样方法对245名大学生在日常生活中归属感需求的偏差进行了探讨。在一周的时间里,个人数字助理每天8次向受试者发出信号,让他们完成有关情感、想法和行为的问卷调查。正如预测的那样,社交快感缺乏症的水平越高,独处的时间越长,对独处的偏好越大,积极情绪越低。相比之下,较高的社交焦虑与较高的负面情绪有关,而与独处时间的增加无关。此外,更大的社交焦虑与更强的自我意识和与不熟悉的人交往时更喜欢独处有关。因此,归属需求的偏差对社会功能的影响是不同的,这取决于这种需求是否缺失或受到阻碍。
People possess an innate need to belong that drives social interactions. Aberrations in the need to belong, such as social anhedonia and social anxiety, provide a point of entry for examining this need. The current study used experience-sampling methodology to explore deviations in the need to belong in the daily lives of 245 undergraduates. Eight times daily for a week, personal digital assistants signaled subjects to complete questionnaires regarding affect, thoughts, and behaviors. As predicted, higher levels of social anhedonia were associated with increased time alone, greater preference for solitude, and lower positive affect. Higher social anxiety, in contrast, was associated with higher negative affect and was not associated with increased time alone. Furthermore, greater social anxiety was associated with greater self-consciousness and preference to be alone while interacting with unfamiliar people. Thus, deviations in the need to belong affect social functioning differently depending on whether this need is absent or thwarted.
