过度积极的自我评价的适应性引起了激烈的争论。目前的研究强调,积极偏见的成本和收益取决于其潜在动机。五项研究探讨了夸大学业成绩倾向的心理和表现之间的关联。在私人报告中夸大其词的学生表现出更大的成就动机和积极影响(研究 1)、挑战和方法导向(研究 2)以及在压力较大的模拟工作面试中观察者评价的镇定(研究 3)。此外,夸张预示着随后的学业进步。这种形式的夸张显然反映了一种将积极目标投射到自我报告上的适应性倾向。相比之下,在更公开的背景下的夸大与社会期望动机相关,而不是与积极影响、接近/挑战动机或改进相关(研究 4)。突出实际表现(通过强调记录将被检查)减少夸大;在这种情况下夸大其词的学生并没有随着时间的推移而提高,反而表现出表现下降(研究 5)。
The adaptiveness of overly positive self-evaluation is heavily debated. The present research emphasizes that costs and benefits of positive biases are contingent upon their underlying motives. Five studies explored psychological and performance correlates of the tendency to exaggerate academic performance. Students who exaggerated in a private reporting context showed greater achievement motivation and positive affect (Study 1), challenge and approach orientations (Study 2), and observer-rated composure during a stressful mock job interview (Study 3). Moreover, exaggeration predicted subsequent academic improvements. This form of exaggeration apparently reflects an adaptive tendency to project positive goals onto self-reports. In contrast, exaggeration in a more public context was associated with social desirability motives and not with positive affect, approach/challenge motives, or improvement (Study 4). Making actual performance salient (by highlighting that records would be checked) reduced exaggeration; students who exaggerated in this context did not improve over time, instead showing performance decrements (Study 5).
