什么心理机制促进社会协调与合作？本研究检验了这样一个假设，即发出邀请与他人合作的信号的社会线索可以激发内在动机，即使人们独自工作。在保持其他因素不变的情况下，暴露在一起工作的线索中的参与者在一项具有挑战性的任务中坚持的时间更长（实验一和实验三），表示更大的兴趣和享受的任务（实验1，3和5），需要较少的自我调节努力坚持的任务（实验2），变得更加全神贯注，并在任务中表现得更好（实验4），并且，当被鼓励将这种动机与他们的价值观和自我概念联系起来时，在1-2周后选择在未连接的环境中做更多相关的任务（实验5）。结果表明，一起工作的暗示可以激发内在的动机，把工作变成娱乐。讨论解决的动机和自我和应用的影响的社会关系基础。(C)2014爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
What psychological mechanisms facilitate social coordination and cooperation? The present research examined the hypothesis that social cues that signal an invitation to work with others can fuel intrinsic motivation even when people work alone. Holding constant other factors, participants exposed to cues of working together persisted longer on a challenging task (Experiments I and 3), expressed greater interest in and enjoyment of the task (Experiments 1, 3, and 5), required less self-regulatory effort to persist on the task (Experiment 2), became more engrossed in and performed better on the task (Experiment 4), and, when encouraged to link this motivation to their values and self-concept, chose to do more related tasks in an unconnected setting 1-2 weeks later (Experiment 5). The results suggest that cues of working together can inspire intrinsic motivation, turning work into play. The discussion addresses the social-relational bases of motivation and implications for the self and application. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
