我们提出了一个双视角模型（Dual Perspective Model，简称DPR），解释了为什么能动性（competence）和共融性（communion，简称warmth）构成了社会认知的两个基本内容维度。每一个社会行动都涉及两个视角：行动者（执行行动的人）和接受者（行动所针对的人）。代理人和接受者的直接认知目标不同，这导致在提高可访问性和重量的内容，无论是机构（从代理人的角度来看）或共融（从接受者的角度来看）。他解释了为什么对其他人的评价是由集体因素而非主体因素主导的，并提出了一个新的假设，即自尊是由主体因素而非集体信息主导的。我们提出了几项支持这一假设的研究。版权所有#2011约翰威利父子有限公司在本文中，我们建立在机构（能力）和交流（温暖）的区别作为社会认知的基本维度。我们提出了一个双重视角模型（Dual Perspective Model，DPL），对为什么能动性和共融构成两个基本维度提供了一个新的解释。我们还提出了一个新的假设，从模型-自尊是由agentic在公共信息。我们开始通过简短地回顾作为社会认知的基本维度的能动性和共融性的想法，然后呈现作为这种二元性的解释的社会认知，并讨论我们的模型的两个主要推导。首先，对他人的感知和评价是由群体信息主导的。由于这是一个公认的事实，我们只总结了证实的经验证据。第二，自我认知（包括自尊）是由代理人对公共信息的支配。由于这是一个新的预测，我们讨论了一些细节，并提出了一系列支持研究。
We present a Double Perspective Model (DPM) explaining why agency (competence) and communion (warmth) constitute two basic content dimensions of social cognition. Every social action involves two perspectives: of the agent (a person who performs an action) and of the recipient (a person at whom the action is directed). Immediate cognitive goals of the agent and recipient differ, which results in heightened accessibility and weight of content referring either to agency (from the agent’s perspective) or to communion (from the recipient’s perspective). DPM explains why evaluations of other persons are dominated by communal over agentic considerations and allows a novel hypothesis that self-esteem is dominated by agentic over communal information. We present several studies supporting this hypothesis. Copyright # 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. In this paper we build on the distinction of agency (competence) and communion (warmth) as the fundamental dimensions of social cognition. We present a Double Perspective Model (DPM) offering a new account of why agency and communion constitute the two basic dimensions. We also present a novel hypothesis resulting from the model— that self-esteem is dominated by agentic over communal information. We begin by shortly reviewing the idea of agency and communion as basic dimensions of social cognition, then present DPM as an explanation of this duality and discuss two main derivations of our model. First, perceptions and evaluations of other persons are dominated by communal over agentic information. As this is a well-established fact now, we only summarize the confirming empirical evidence. Second, the self-cognition (including self-esteem) is dominated by agentic over communal information. As this is a novel prediction, we discuss it in some detail and present a series of supporting studies.
