在学术背景下，对社会排斥的担忧可能会产生破坏性影响。我们开始培养一种积极的认知习惯，以缓冲社会和成绩威胁，从而使学生不那么脆弱，对拒绝更有弹性。来自成人教育中心的参与者(n=150)首先接受了使用专门设计的计算机任务抑制排斥的培训，然后接受了拒绝和失败操作。结果表明，在外显和内隐自尊较低的最脆弱被试中，实验条件下的被试对拒绝的警觉性显著低于对照条件下的被试。注意力训练还让外显自尊较低的参与者在拒绝操作后感觉不那么被拒绝，更不愿意在几乎不可能完成的字谜任务中坚持下去。最后，在实验条件下，参与者报告在完成字谜任务时被拒绝的干扰性想法较少，并且在被拒绝和经历失败后总体上更高的状态自尊。结果表明，在学校环境中，训练积极的社会认知可以在应对社会和成绩威胁时产生有益的自我调节结果。(C)2008 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
Concerns about social rejection can be disruptive in an academic context. We set out to train a positive cognitive habit that would buffer against social and performance threat thereby making students less vulnerable and more resilient to rejection. Participants from adult education centers (n = 150) were first trained to inhibit rejection using a specially designed computer task, and were then taken through a rejection and failure manipulation. Results showed that of the most vulnerable participants with low explicit and low implicit self-esteem, those in the experimental condition exhibited significantly less vigilance for rejection compared to their counterparts in the control condition. The attentional training also made participants with low explicit self-esteem feel less rejected after a rejection manipulation and less willing to persevere on a virtually impossible anagrams task. Finally, participants in the experimental condition reported less interfering thoughts of being rejected while completing the anagrams task, and overall higher state self-esteem after having been rejected and experiencing failure. The results show that training positive social cognitions can have beneficial self-regulatory outcomes in response to social and performance threat in a school context. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc.
