423名MBA学生的前瞻性研究探讨了身份谈判和群体功能的相互作用。研究结果显示,自我验证效应(小组成员通过这种效应让其他人看到他们自己)增强了参与者与他们小组的联系感(即,更多的认同和社会融合,更少的情感冲突),并提高了创造性任务(受益于不同观点的任务)的小组项目成绩。评价效应(通过小组让成员看到自己,就像小组看到他们一样)促进了计算任务(需要得出一个正确答案的任务)的小组项目成绩。此外,自我验证效应比评价效应更普遍。作者讨论了这些研究结果的影响,了解自我验证,自我分类和团体结果之间的联系。
A prospective study of 423 MBA students examined the interplay of identity negotiation and group functioning. The findings revealed that self-verification effects (through which group members brought others to see them as they saw themselves) heightened participants' feelings of connection to their groups (i.e., more identification and social integration and less emotional conflict) and improved group project grades on creative tasks (tasks that benefit from divergent perspectives). Appraisal effects (through which groups brought members to see themselves as the group saw them) facilitated group project grades on computational tasks (tasks that require deriving one correct answer). In addition, self-verification effects were more prevalent than appraisal effects. The authors discuss the implications of these findings for understanding the links among self-verification, self-categorization, and group outcomes.
