Self-Promotive Interdependence: Implications for Cognition, Emotion, and Motivation

许多未被研究的人群在规模和社会重要性上都在增长，然而心理学文献还没有探索他们的动机或驱动他们行动的行为过程背后的重要差异。此外，越来越多的人努力在心理学研究中纳入更多不同的视角，并了解背景对核心人类动机的影响，目前的工作利用过去的方法来建立一个更全面的解释人们动机背后的心理特征。这个项目调查了自我促进相互依赖的心理特征，这种心理特征在许多社会背景下很常见。这种形式的社会动机反映了人们被驱使去实现目标和回报，但他们认为自己的成功主要是为了支持他们的家庭和社区(即，关注他们与其他人的相互依赖)。因此，它不同于在环境中占主导地位的自我推销的想法，在这种情况下，自我推销往往满足个人的愿望和目标，促进独立于他人。收集的数据包括调查、实验和跨社会背景的实时评估，以比较这些心理特征。通过比较这些动机，这项工作旨在了解自我促进相互依赖的独特特征，并探索其心理和行为后果。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Many understudied populations are growing in size and in societal importance, yet the psychological literature has not explored their motivations or important differences underlying behavioral processes that drive their actions. Further, there has been a growing effort to include more varied perspectives in psychological research and to appreciate contextual influences on core human motives, and the current work leverages past approaches to build a more comprehensive account of the psychological characteristics underlying people's motivations.This project investigates the psychological characteristic of self-promotive interdependence, which is common in many social contexts. This form of social motivation reflects people who are driven to achieve goals and rewards, but they see their success as important primarily for supporting their families and communities (i.e., focusing on their interdependence with other people). Thus, it is different from the idea of self-promotion predominant in circumstances, where self-promotion often fulfills individual aspirations and goals, promoting independence from other people. The data collected include surveys, experiments, and real-time assessments across social contexts to compare these psychological characteristics. By comparing these motives, the work aims to understand the unique characteristics of self-promotive interdependence and to explore its psychological and behavioral consequences.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
