自我和谐理论认为，人们希望别人以可预测的方式对待他们。自我提升理论认为，人们希望别人以积极的态度对待他们。我们试图通过检验人们的认知反应符合自我和谐理论和他们的情感反应符合自我提升理论的假设来帮助协调这两个理论。我们向拥有积极或消极自我概念的个体提供了有利或不利的社会反馈。然后我们测量了对反馈的认知反应(例如，感知到的自我描述)和对反馈的情感反应(例如，情绪状态)。认知反应主要是由反馈的一致性驱动的，而情感反应则受到反馈增强程度的控制。我们建议，将认知和情感概念化为部分独立的心理系统，有助于解决人们对自我相关的社会反馈反应的一些长期存在的悖论。
Self-consistency theory assumes that people want others to treat them in a predictable manner. Self-enhancement theory contends that people want others to treat them in a positive manner. We attempted to help reconcile the two theories by testing the hypothesis that people's cognitive responses conform to self-consistency theory and their affective responses conform to self-enhancement theory. We presented individuals who possessed either positive or negative self-concepts with either favorable or unfavorable social feedback. We then measured cognitive reactions to the feedback (eg, perceived self-descriptiveness) and affective reactions to the feedback (eg, mood states). Cognitive responses were primarily driven by the consistency of the feedback and affective responses were controlled by how enhancing it was. We propose that conceptualizing cognition and affect as partially independent mental systems helps resolve some long-standing paradoxes regarding people's responses to self-relevant social feedback.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
