接近和回避是两种基本的动机取向。它们的激活影响认知和感知过程：先前的研究表明，与回避相比，接近取向激发了对更大单位的关注。研究1用一种范式证实了这一假设，这种范式比之前的研究更直接地利用了一个人将物体表示为小单位或大单位的倾向。进一步预测，自我也应该被表示为属于更大的单位，因此在接近时比在回避时更加相互依赖。研究2支持这一预测。由于这种对归属于更大单位的关注，最终预测，接近比逃避更能导致对一个人的内群体的认同。研究3和4支持这一预测。
Approach and avoidance are two basic motivational orientations. Their activation influences cognitive and perceptive processes: Previous work suggests that an approach orientation instigates a focus on larger units as compared to avoidance. Study 1 confirms this assumption using a paradigm that more directly taps a person’s tendency to represent objects as belonging to small or large units than prior studies. It was further predicted that the self should also be represented as belonging to larger units, and hence be more interdependent under approach than under avoidance. Study 2 supports this prediction. As a consequence of this focus on belonging to larger units, it was finally predicted that approach results in a stronger identification with one’s in-group than avoidance. Studies 3 and 4 support that prediction.
