【更正通知：本文的勘误表在《文化多样性和少数民族心理学》第23（1）页中报告（见记录2016-54852-001）。在这篇文章中，结果部分有三个错误。每一个都在勘误表中与正确的结果一起描述。对调查结果的解释保持不变。]目前的研究探讨了写作内容是否与自我提升有关（即，向下的社会比较和情境归因）和自我完善（即，在17名亚裔美国人和17名欧洲裔美国人的参与者中，向上的社会比较和坚持）动机与表达性写作结果的相关性不同。文章的内容分析显示，没有显着的文化群体差异的可能性，从事自我提升与自我改善的反思消极的个人经历。然而，在3个月的随访中，自我激励过程与焦虑和抑郁症状变化之间的关系存在明显的文化组差异。在欧洲裔美国人中，反映向下社会比较的写作预测了积极的结果，而持久性写作主题与较差的结果有关。对于亚裔美国人来说，关于持久性的写作与积极的结果有关，而向下的社会比较和情境归因则预测了较差的结果。研究结果提供的证据表明，文化不同的机制表达性披露的影响。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2024阿帕，保留所有权利）
[Correction Notice: An Erratum for this article was reported in Vol 23 (1) of Cultural Diversity and Ethnic Minority Psychology (see record 2016-54852-001). In this article, there were three errors in the Results section. Each are described in the erratum alongside the correct results. The interpretations of the findings remain the same.] The current study examined whether writing content related to self-enhancing (viz., downward social comparison and situational attributions) and self-improving (viz., upward social comparison and persistence) motivations were differentially related to expressive writing outcomes among 17 Asian American and 17 European American participants. Content analysis of the essays revealed no significant cultural group differences in the likelihood of engaging in self-enhancing versus self-improving reflections on negative personal experiences. However, cultural group differences were apparent in the relation between self-motivation processes and changes in anxiety and depressive symptoms at 3-month follow-up. Among European Americans, writing that reflected downward social comparison predicted positive outcomes, whereas persistence writing themes were related to poorer outcomes. For Asian Americans, writing about persistence was related to positive outcomes, whereas downward social comparison and situational attributions predicted poorer outcomes. Findings provide evidence suggesting culturally distinct mechanisms for the effects of expressive disclosure.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
